Free RSS Readers

I haven’t tried a standalone feed reader yet. As said from previous posts, I have a plug-in in Outlook and the other is alreay a feature in Thunderbird. What’s extra nice in RSS/Atom feeds, you get updated information once it is available. No more time wasted visiting a site when there is no update available.

My next task would be to fix my RSS feed for this site.







Blogspot is now Atom-enabled

Well, I really don’t know if blogspot is atom-enabled all along. It’s just now that I discovered that I can have your blogs, blogspot users, delivered into my mail for every update/post you have. I do not have to regulary open my browser and check if there is a new post.

I posted an RSS article last week which delivers my latest news/comics to my Outlook. Sadly, my version of intraVnews only read RSS feeds and not Atom feeds. There is an updated version of intraVnews that supports Atom but it’s not free anymore. So I guess I’ll be sticking with my v1.0 of intraVnews.

That aside, since Outlook + intraVnews combo cannot handle Atom feeds, I resort to (drumroll please)… Mozilla Thunderbird!. This mail client is also a feed reader - both from RSS sites and Atom sites. Nice huh. Now I have the luxury to sit back and relax and wait for your new posts to arrive.

Here’s a screencap of my Atom feeds:

Admins/owners of webcams may not know it but their webcams are easily accessible over the net with a little google search.
Search this string over google and you will get a lot of hits: inurl:”view/index.shtml”

Nothing extraordinary is seen so far. :p

Here’s a collection of unguarded webcams:
