RSS Bandit
RSS Bandit gives you the opportunity to read your favourite RSS feeds in an Outlook-like software. You can read the latest news as if they were emails. The best part of it is that you can synchronize RSS Bandit with your online RSS aggregator (NewsGator or Google Reader). These online applications are quite useful if you want to read your news from one computer to another.RSS, Really Simple Syndication, is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works – such as blog entries, news headlines, audio and video, in a standardized format. You can think of RSS feeds as the outline of the news. You see the first 2 or 3 sentences of an article with a picture and the title. If you want to read it, you click on it, otherwise you just jump to the next news. It’s as if you were managing your emails, you can delete, move, tag, store, or print them.
Many websites have their own feeds. The feeds I follow include CBC, BBC, New York Times, CNN, La Presse, The Globe and Mail, Times, GregoryALussier.com/Feed… To find an RSS feed, just open up Google and type the newspaper’s name followed by the keyword RSS.
