How do I read RSS?
There are two different ways you can read RSS feeds:

• I want to use a desktop program. What are my options?
  If you want to collect and browse feeds you have many choices, but there are two primary categories of feed reading applications: installable desktop programs and online services. There are many desktop applications for Windows and Mac OS system users, but two of our favorites are FeedDemon (Windows) and NetNewsWire (Mac OS X). Both require a small purchase price but are tops for ease of use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the syndication "universe" right away.
• I want to use a web-based service. What are my options?
  Web-based services are also good, and have the added benefit of being available to you everywhere. The most common applications are Google, NewsGator, Bloglines, and My Yahoo.
