FeedDemon enables you to quickly explore the world of RSS from your desktop without having to visit hundreds of sites.
Written by Nick Bradbury, creator of TopStyle and HomeSite, FeedDemon makes RSS as easy to access as your email.
Basically, RSS is a simple format used to syndicate regularly updated content. For example, sites such as SlashDot and Wired offer RSS feeds of their articles, news agencies such as the BBC use RSS to syndicate news stories, and hundreds of "bloggers" use RSS to expose their thoughts to a wider audience.
Here are some key features of "FeedDemon":
· Pre-configured with dozens of popular feeds, so you can start using it right away
· Newspaper displays news items from dozens of sites in a single web page for easy reading
· Watches collect news items containing specific words or phrases, alerting you to items of interest so you don't have to look for them
· News Bins store your favorite news items for future reference
· Integration with Feedster and other popular RSS search engines
· Built-in tabbed browser for surfing the web within FeedDemon
· Supports all versions of RSS and Atom 0.3
· Imports/exports feed lists from OPML
· Easy to use for beginners, yet powerful enough to please the most sophisticated news junkie
· FeedDemon is a native Windows application, so it runs fast and does NOT require the bulky .NET runtime.
