[Web4lib] RSS Readers (was: Hi,)

I use the Flock browser (www.flock.com) which is Firefox with some very
slick RSS reading/organizing capability along with drag/drop blogging,
etc.  Since I started using the NewsPage feature, it has really made
using RSS feeds a no brainer and I use it to review a ton of library
blogs.

My two cents,

I would recommend an online service like Bloglines*, especially for
library users.  They'll be able to access that from ANY web browsers on
ANY internet connection, and won't be limited to your location,
equipment, or software.

By the way, bloglines is free and (in my opinion) very easy for novices.
