Also, a RSS feed is nothing more than the ability to get information without logging on the net. I personally use RssReader: version 1.0.88.0
This explanation will throw many people for a loop. "The net" is the source of all the information, whether published via RSS or not. RSS merely gives you the freedom to not have to visit individual web pages, or it allows you to use some other mechanism besides a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) to view the information. There are services that will consolidate your RSS subscriptions for you into a single location (E.g., my.yahoo.com). I use applications to download RSS content to my Palm PDA for offline viewing.

But there is no way to get away from the ubiquitous "net".
