Thunderbird & RSS is awesome

Check out the screenshot below.
In Thunderbird you can add as many RSS feeds as you want then they act as if they are email or newsgroup messages, except that it loads the page the feed refers to.

This is the first time I've actually used RSS like this (I do use it on nthellworld.co.uk to pull in the CF news articles though).
I can't get enough of it now.

Now to go hunting for more feeds...

Re: RSS Feeds

I've got a few live bookmarks set up in Firefox, mainly the BBC and mozillazine.

My personal favourite. I like to keep everything as simple as possible, and that does a great job.

Re: RSS Feeds

I like the way you can put RSS feeds as live bookmarks in Firefox.

Otherwise, I have had a play with putting RSS feeds into content manager programs like Mambo & phpwebsite, which seemed to work quite well, but you need hosted webspace to do that.

I havn't tried a 'dedicated' reader, though.

Re: RSS Feeds

I use live bookmarks in Firefox too. So quick, easy, does the job... Can't see i'd want a dedicated reader...
