Newsreaders - faster, convenient news

.

Following news on-line?
Are you into blogs? Writer, reader? I guess there are more readers that aren't writing than other thing around.

So if you're regulary following blogs, it's probably quite frustrating if it looks like this: open browser - go to favorites folder - find blog link - open it - read. Well, if you're following just one blog, that's probably not such a problem, but when you're reading 10 or even more ... ufff!

So I'd suggest you to use one of those simple newsreaders - such as SharpReader. Simple to install (very small package) and simple to use. Just check your favorite blog (or other site you're constantly visiting for news) and find the "feed" link - most of the pages have this - you'll recognise it by a small XML logo on the sidebar or at the foot of page.

Browse down to end of my blog and you'll see "Site feed" text in the footer - just copy the link to your newsreader and you'll have a lightning-speed access to updates.

What's better is that reader can get just a few couple of lines of update - so you can check if theme is interesting for you or not. Link to complete post is also available.

AND - not to forget - if your newsreader supports retrieval of the whole post, you can read the news/blogs offline - very convenient while you're waiting at the airport, during lunch or between meetings (not during, pls!).
