Web-Based RSS Feed Reader - Try It
http://www.bloglines.com/
I know it's still a bit on the techie edge to configure your own RSS Feed reader, so try this out to see basically how RSS (Really Simple Syndication) works.
Look ... why bother bookmarking your favorite news sites, trade mag sites and blogs when every time the site updates its content you can see it in one consolidated list?
Really ... Simple ... Syndication ...
The problem is that Microsoft has yet to support RSS via its Windows operating system. You can purchase a $50 upgrade for Outlook, but that ridiculous. Stand-alone RSS reader software is readily available as both freeware and low-cost shareware. But ... then you've got to get a wee-bit techie and configure it yourself.
That's where the adoption drop-off rate soars. Here is a listing of RSS software that's quite sufficient to get anyone started.
If you're using the FireFox browser from Mozilla, then you've got built-in "Live Bookmarks" to read RSS Feeds. Or, if you're using Safari on MacOS X Tiger (not the earlier Jaguar or Panther iterations), then you also have built-in "live bookmarks" to read your Feeds.
