RSS - What Do You Have?

[Kevin D. Jones]

How many of you have RSS readers? If you do, what kind do you use? I am wondering, because I use one for this site. Without it, I would never know what is happening on here - it would all seem like too large of a monster. I wouldn't know when someone posted a blog, a discussion, a video or a new page. And without that, the site is not worth much besides an occasional glance.

So, what type of RSS reader do you use, if you use one at all?

[Kevin D. Jones]

Good one. Another FF plugin RSS reader that I just discovered is WizzRSS [http://www.wizzrss.com/]. Very similar.

Kevin,

Add me to the Google Reader club as well. Without the tool, I don't know how I would manage the avalanche of information that comes in daily. I did notice Google offered a beta program called Google Gears that allows you to read information off-line but I haven't tried it yet.

Ya, I haven't tried it either, but I am going on a trip here in a couple weeks so I think I might try it.

Although 'BETA', everything (well, not really, but it seems like it) Google does is a perpetual beta. Makes sense when you really think about it.

I have one on my mac, but I don't really know how to use it. Is there an "In Plain English" on how to USE an RSS reader?

Sure is. It is more of a 'What is RSS' and a real light "How do you do it." It can be found in the Video section of this site: http://sociallearning.ning.com/video/video/show?id=1186303%3AVideo%...

This should give you a quick overview. Once you watch that and get it going, let us know if you need more help. We can walk you through getting it up and running.

Hi there.

I use the RSS reader that comes with Outlook 2007. I check it just as I check email that way. I have pretty simple requirements and it works for me.
