How do people read feeds?

To receive an RSS feed, you need a newsreader - or content aggregator.

In the same way that you need a radio receiver to be able to hear radio stations, you need a feed reader to get the feed content.

There are Web-based readers like Bloglines(http://www.bloglines.com/) and My Yahoo(http://my.yahoo.com/).

There are also downloadable newsreaders you can install on your desktop like the PRESSfeed reader. Download our free reader (http://www.press-feed.com/downloads/FeedReader290Setup.exe)

Others, like NewsGator‍(http://www.newsgator.com/home.aspx), have both free and paid services.

Newsreaders offer a variety of special features, including combining several related feeds into a single view, hiding items that the viewer has already seen, and categorizing feeds and items.

Once you set up your reader with your preferences, it will collect the feeds you're interested in every time there is an update.
