If you’re like me, you regularly read gobs of blogs. If you’re like me in that regard (and you should be!), you have tapped into the power of feed readers. Almost universally, blogs provide syndicated feeds of content and when a new entry is posted, people who have subscribed to the feed are notified and presented with the new content in their feed readers.
This is very mystical sounding, but usually all it takes is telling the feed reader which site you want to subscribe to and it goes and figures out what the feed is. This is autodiscovery but is the topic of another conversation.
Thanks to Darren’s entry, I found this comparison of 9 different web based feed readers. Personally I use Bloglines but there are other flavors of readers each with their own features and selling points.
