Let's talk about RSS
It's really simple syndication. Commonly called News Feeds. You want to know when a Web site's been updated? Subscribe to its RSS News Feed. Now, Apple and Microsoft are making it simple by adding RSS features into their respective Web browsers: Safari RSS and Internet Explorer respectively.

Safari RSS with built-in "Live Bookmarks" (Mac OS only)

Most Popular RSS Reader for Windows - RSS Bandit Screen Shots
See multiple images here
Note: RSS Bandit lets you see images with text while previewing news stories from sites such as NYTimes.com and Salon.com

My Fave RSS Reader for Mac OSX - Newsfire RSS
Go get your own
Note: The single best feature of Newsfire is command+D, which lets you search for RSS Feeds within any web site's domain; for example, by typing "www.pbs.org" I get back a listing of all PBS News Feeds (which now number in the dozens).
