RssReader

RSS is a technology for reading quick website summaries, and it’s taken 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 websites that support RSS—and then to display the resulting summaries. In Windows, you might use a program like RssReader. On the Mac, you can download any number of great, free RSS readers from the Mac App Store—or use a web-based RSS reader like www.feedly.com.
