"The Onion?" Besides everything, are you also a cook? Wow. (j/k)

Hey, everybody knows that The Onion is America's finest new source:

INDIANAPOLIS, IN—The recent murders of six serial killers has shaken the serial-killer community to its core, ushering in a new era of fear, suspicion, and mistrust, homicidal maniacs reported Monday.

You should get all your news from there :joke:

Thanks for the links, retroK. I'll make sure to add some of these feeds to my list

 

emulation9.com needs a feed.... Anyways, i don't subscribe to alot of feeds, just a couple here and there to keep up on the very few current events i give a damn about.

 

I know nothing about RSS as I've never taken interest in RSS feeds, but it seems it might come in handy for a user..

I see the news headlines are displayed in that RSS feed viewer, but how does it work beyond that? Does it open the relevant webpage to the headline you've clicked, or is the news displayed in a way different from the relevant webpage?

 

I used to use news feeds with samurize, though I wanted it to monitor so much it used alot of resources so I stopped using it. I like the tech sites like winbeta, neowin, warp2search etc.

 

hmm... i always wondered what those rss feed tags meant, i knew what it standed for but i didnt know what exactly it was for i might start using them, though i dont go to that many websites for news anymore... i used to have a few science/technology websites but i lost em or they went down... maybe if i find some more ill start using these things

Well, as I've said, they can save a lot of time if you check many websites. I wasn't interested in them until about a three weeks ago. Now I'm addicted

Now let me answer your question. So far I've only used a single program, Feedreader, so I'm answering regarding to it. The way your visualize the news depends on the website. Let me illustrate it.

On Ngemu.com RSS feed you can only see the headlines. To read the entire post you've to click on the "Read More" button, which appears at that box on the bottom right corner of the screen (it works as a built-in browser). Then it will open Ngemu's webpage on this same box, with the post in question. The same happens to Zophar's feed and many others.
For some other sites, a brief description of the news piece will appear above the "Read More" button. It's the case for BetterHumans.com and the NYT.
And for blogs' RSS feeds it usually displays the whole post, making it easier to read.

You can also right-click the read more button and open it in your default browser.

i used to have a few science/technology websites but i lost em or they went down... maybe if i find some more ill start using these things

Just a sample of what I have

 

Trillian has an RSS plugin that works pretty well. i dont know how well it does with a huge list of feeds cuz i only have three and they work perfect. so people with trillian should try this plugin

 

Newest Operas can do RSS feeds in its mail/newsreader too

 

I use RSS with Firefox

 

i have that plugin, but if you ever want to read it, you have to open up the sidebar, which in itself is simple, but i'm just too lazy .

 

Current FireFox builds don't need a plugin, and you can have the RSS feeds in the bookmarks toolbar
