new blog

Recently Amit Agarwal, the author of one of the most popular technology blogs of India, has changed the theme of his WordPress powered blog. Along with the new theme, he has added several new features in his blog. He has published a new list of favorite blogs and websites. So from these websites he gets all the latest news and updates. Getting latest news on time is very important for any blogger. But Can you browse all the websites and blogs that he mentioned in his blog everyday. I don’t think so. I have an idea. You can read all the latest news on your PC without opening the internet browser or say without visiting the original website. So we will use a RSS reader for this. There are hundreds of RSS readers in market but I use GreatNews RSS reader. It has many extra features as compared to other RSS readers available in the market. Also it is completely free to download and use.
Before going to tell more about Great New RSS Reader, let’s see what is RSS and RSS Reader. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video in a standardized format. An RSS document which is called a “feed, includes full or summarized text plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content quickly and automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats.
RSS feeds can be read using RSS reader or Feed Reader which can be web-based like Google Reader or desktop-based like Great News. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
Now let me tell you why I use Great New RSS reader.
