RSS FEEDERS, soo many to choose from.....

Post by Dragon_Cooler »

Does anyone here actually use an RSS feeder program? What one do yall suggest?

As i am doing more and more surrfing on deals, like at NEWEGG and such it would be kind of nice for thier new deals to pop right up on my screen so i can look through them.

I use RSSOwl right now... I don't know if there is a single (free) RSS Reader that is better than another... I think they are all about the same.

However, the thing I liked about RSSOwl is that it came with a crap load of Sample RSS feeds already setup... I was able to quickly delete the categories I wasn't interested in, but it had a great selection of Technology related topics already included.

I use the RSS feeder than came with Desktop SideBar. May not be the best for viewing news, but works superbly when viewing new posts in RSS-enabled forums.

are there any good sidebar rss feeders? I dont want to have to open a full blown program. I just want it to be sitting there on the side and be feeding NEWGG and stuff like that

most of the full blown programs can be minimized to the system tray... and as long as you have it set to automatically check the feeds every few minutes, then it will auto-notify you that a new topic was posted much like most messengers or email programs do.
