Web-based Readers

Web-based readers require no software installation and make your feeds available on any computer with Internet access and a Web browser. These allow you to enter the URL of the newsfeed you want to subscribe to and then the news gets refreshed automatically at a time interval of your choice.

Here’s a selection of some favorite web-based readers:

	Google Reader		Bloglines		My Yahoo!		NewsGator
	FeedFeeds		Pluck		Newsburst		Rojo

Downloadable (Client-side) Readers
