RSS Feeds and the RSS Aggregator Relationship Continued

A free article on Building Traffic

Choosing between a desktop or an online RSS reader really isn't that difficult if you have a basic outline of what each one offers so that you can determine how it will most benefit you.

AmphetaDesk is a desktop aggregator which is free to use, offers easy addition of multiple feeds, and is compatible with Linux, Windows, and Mac. It has very few personalized customization options and it does not maximize the visual display.

FeedDemon is another desktop aggregator that is high on the user friendly list and comes with a free trial segment. It comes preinstalled with some of the more popular feeds and it can be set up to provide filtering of RSS feeds. It interfaces well with other RSS feeds and services through simple configuration and it has a unique filtering system that helps ward off the basic "junk feeds" the same way spam filters try to keep junk mail from our inboxes.

Feedstar as well is another popular desktop aggregator and it allows the storage of feeds if you don't want to get rid of one but you are using at the moment. It comes with a podcast receiver and it eases channel navigation through the use of tabs. It also costs about $30 to obtain and it is designed specifically for Internet Explorer.

Bloglines is an online aggregator and it readily supports all of the most popular web browsers. It is free and it is considered one of the most user friendly readers for those who are either not so technically savvy or who are just beginning. It contains no advertiser support and the registration is very simple. It comes in ten languages and offers a personal email account with the service. Saved searches and the internal directory of thousands of various existing feeds make it very popular. It offers easy configuration for different privacy levels and offers a mobile version. The add on segments allow for quick and simple addition of things such as blog rolls and subscriptions.

Newsgator is also available online and comes with a free standard version. It offers email delivery of articles and personally selected news channels. It comes with blog headlines, keyword filtering, and easy one click subscription to additional news feeds. Surfing time can be cut down with its browse and search capabilities and offers synchronized delivery into multiple devices. Its major drawback is that it is only supported by Windows.

MyYahoo is a free web based aggregator that connects directly to Yahoo services. It is considered user friendly and it offers home page design options. It also comes with the simple one click subscription option and a search option with a directory of feeds. It offers one of the greatest varieties of available feeds. It delivers banner advertisements along with its feed services.

The plug in version, which would actually be an additional piece of hardware that pugs directly into your computer, is also becoming available. This technology is still new enough and hasn't reached the popularity demanded to really produce a large following. In the future, there will be many more versions of many more RSS aggregators to help those who want more options find exactly what they are looking for. With the increase in RSS feed popularity, aggregators have nowhere to go but up.
