News Readers

Almost all news websites (CNN, NYTimes, and even ESPN) syndicate their content via RSS. Using a news reader will enable you to quickly scan the latest headlines from these sites (and others) without having to visit them with your browser. News readers check for updated content at regular intervals (typically, every 30 minutes) and notify you when new information is available.

Some commonly used news readers are Feed Demon and NewsGator (an Outlook plugin) for Windows, NetNewsWire and Shrook for Macs.
