The world's fastest guide to RSS

I'm only just getting initiated with RSS. What can I say? So many sites - so little time. Do I really need a new way to find fascinating but uselesss content on the web? Probably not. Can I have any credibility as a semi-professional surfer if I don't have an RSS reader? Hmmmm...

Jeremy Wagstaff has reviewed a number of his fave readers here: A Directory of the Best RSS Readers. The reader I'm trying out first... Albion.

As I can't load software onto my office PC, I was rather keen to get a reader that was web based. It looks like the BloogZ Reader, while rather basic, will do the trick.

If you're a Yahoo user there's an even simpler solution: My Yahoo lets you add RSS content. It's limited because it doesn't take all kinds of feeds. It won't take Atom.xml which is the feed that blogger uses for all it's free accounts. However it's possble to convert an atom.xml feed into an rss feed over at feedburner. You don't even have to know what the different protocols are. The site is simple and free.

Need more content? You can find more feeds here:
