Web-Based RSS Readers

If you don't want to download and install a reader you can also use a personalized online service. These kinds of tools are especially helpful if you use different computers at home, at work or at school. An online service keeps all your feeds accessible wherever you may be.

Netvibes (www.netvibes.com) - Netvibes seems to be the most popular web based RSS reader. It is very simple, free, and easy to use. In fact you can start personalizing your feeds immediately upon hitting their homepage without even setting up an account. Of course if you want to access your reader from another computer you'll need to set up an account to get a user name and password.

Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) - Bloglines seems like it's the up and coming online reader. It's a little more sophisticated than Netvibes and allows for more customizable content and foreign language capability. Of course in the RSS software space, sites leap frog each other with their capabilities all the time so by the time you're reading this the opposite could be true.
