Chapter 2. Grabbing RSS with Readers


So now you know there are many thousands of RSS feeds you can subscribe to and read. So what if you want to start reading? Say you want to read specific feeds from The New York Times, or The Wall Street Journal, or The Washington Postor from any of the thousands upon thousands of other feeds. This chapter is all about subscribing to and reading those feeds.

RSS readers are sometimes called aggregators because they aggregate items, or gather data from various RSS feeds. But whether you call them RSS readers or aggregators, they're your primary RSS tools. They grab news items for you and display those items in a format that's easy to handle. This chapter gives you an overview of readers so you can select the one that's right for you.
