What Is An Rss Feed Reader?

Before we understand what an aggregator, also known as, RSS Feed Reader does, we first must understand what is RSS. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication, it is the standard for sharing content that is updated on a regular basis, and is used most often in blogs and news websites. In addition to information contained in the title, the RSS feed can also include meta data such as author, date or a synopsis of the feed. The RSS information is sent in a standardized XML format.

RSS feeds are read by an RSS Feed Reader. The RSS Feed Reader could be on almost any platform that the end user finds convenient, including a computer’s desktop, an internet website or a handheld or mobile device. This makes it so easy to get updates on websites that you truly care about because it is being pulled directly into a medium that is easily accessible by the end user.

Some people question the necessity of using a desktop RSS Feed Reader when web-based ones are often free and portable. The main reason is that most desktop readers allow for reading of secure feeds that not many web based readers permit. Additionally, most desktop readers allow for offline reading so you can access the downloaded information even when no internet connection is present. While web based readers, by definition, require an active internet connection.

However, there are benefits to the web based RSS Feed Readers. The main one is portability. With a web based aggregator, there is no need to download software on each computer that you are going to use to check your feeds. This way if you are using a public or shared computer, you will be able to check all of your RSS feeds simply and quickly. This is a benefit, especially when you might not have the administrative rights to download and install a desktop RSS Feed Reader software package on the computer that you are using.

Mobile RSS readers such as ones for Blackberries and iPhones, often offer the best of both worlds. They are able to synch RSS feeds so that they can be read while offline. They are able to provide secure login for feeds requiring them, and they are portable so that people can use them anywhere. The downside of these RSS readers is that the mobile devices that use them are expensive, and you still require an internet connection in order to synch them.

RSS Feed Readers are a powerful tool that allows end users to

create a way to track blogs and news stories that are important to them, so that they can be checked quickly and easily. As we continue to develop new technologies, in this age of new digital lifestyles, they will continue to gain in use and popularity.
