RssReader
RSS is a technology for reading quick Web site summaries, and it’s taking the Net by storm. RSS returns the Internet to real utility, free from pop-up ads and the other annoyances of Web life.
To take advantage of RSS, however, you need a program to subscribe to Web sites that support RSS—and then to display the resulting summaries. On Windows, you might use a program like RssReader, or a Web site like www.pluck.com.
On Mac OS X, however, Apple’s way ahead of you. Both Safari (Chapter 12), and Mail (Chapter 11) provide fantastic built-in RSS readers; both can subscribe to RSS sites with ease.
