Looking for: rss start page?

[eyescene]

Hey all, it is virtually impossible to keep up with this forum....and I use Google start page as an rss reader. So anyone know a good rss reader or a better rss start page.

I use Feedreader and Netvibes.

K! but where do I find it?

Thanks for all the replies.

Thanks Aaron for being able to remove groans or thanks cause I just ground you accidentally....oops.

if youre using firefox 2.0 (and i think all other versions) you click the RSS icon that exists in the address bar...

itll take you to a firefox page viewing the current RSS feed...click 'subscribe to this feed' and itll add it to 'live bookmarks'

at that point...all your live bookmarks will exist wherever you have it set up...personally mine is, and by default, is a bar that exists below the addressbar and buttons...you click the one youre looking for and it brings up all the threads...

also when you click the icon...youll get the choice to subscribe to the full MH feed or just the feed of the forum that you are currently on...IE if you were to click ont eh link now...you would have the option to subscribe to the technology forum

I downloaded FF 2.0 but reverted to using FF 1.5.011 I had problems. I looked in customize but I don't see the rss reader button....I'll have to check into that more, you know Google it. thanks anyway.

king, I'll just be, I finally understood, the address bar, Gish am I dumb or what :) don't answer that!!! ;(

Thanks sooooooooo very much!!!

The main reason I use Netvibes and Feedreader is because I can export the feeds. This is super important if you ever want to change readers. I have somewhere around 100 different feeds and losing them would mean a lot of work was lost.

Thanks Aaron I am going to check Feedreader out. I see it is Open-source. I like free!

[eyescene]

Wow thanks Aaron this is just what i needed!!! awsome!!! great!!!

[aaron]

Glad you like it. The only real problem I've found with feedreader is it updates constantly and will bother you constantly unless you set it correctly. Some people want to see articles as soon as they are posted. I usually have an allotted time for reading everything, usually in the early morning. So, getting updates every hour about stuff got annoying. That's when I switched to Netvibes, so I could just visit the page when I got the chance.

[eyescene]

Well Aaron I'll see how it goes....Netvibes was very sloooow loading when I'd restart my homepage....that's why I left.

Gmail takes way too long to load on dial-up too! So I left it too.

I love the web2.0 stuff but is a killer for dial up users.

You're on dial-up, gee, I thought I was the last dude on dail-up, COME ON BELLSOUTH, GET DSL HERE!!

[wadenews]

Sorry to jump on this one a little late....but you've got to try BLOGLINES as your reader. I use it with Firefox and I keep up with around 30 RSS feeds daily with it.

[Engelbert Humperdinck]

Umm, I'd really like to know what all this rss thingy is. I've heard it, but I've no idea what you all are talking about. Please to explain?
