News aggregators

Main Page > Websters

Here is a list of RSS/ATOM feed readers (aka News Aggregators)

This software can be used to stay abreast of news, your favorite bloggers, your own website, the UUWiki website, etc. It's like a merging of the web and email. When a site's content changes on a site that you are watching, you are notified via an interface that is a lot like an email client. Download one and try it by subscribing to the UUWiki Recent Changes Atom Feed!

• Windows
  • SauceReader - It's free. There's a solid developer community supporting it, and it has a feed discovery feature that helps a lot.
