RSS Feed Readers: Hassle free access to the latest content



Anyone knows what RSS stands for? RSS stands for Really Simply Syndication. It actually is really that simple. If you ever had trouble with keeping up with news and content on multiple web sites, you are faced with this daunting task that seems to be never ending. Be sure to read further to find out how RSS reader can make your life easy and deliver content to your doorstep requiring almost no effort from your end.

There are many RSS readers out there but Feedly is one of the best in the market right now. Feedly works as a news aggregator. It collects RSS Feeds. Due to this RSS feed, websites now can publish content once and are able syndicate it automatically amongst millions of subscribers. In terms of interface, it is very much similar to Google Reader. 
No longer does one have the need to revisit same site over and over again searching for new content. Just add RSS feed to reader and the news will arrive itself. After getting started with Feedly, some of the blogs of my interests were from Joy The Baker, VentrueBeat, Home Designing, DIY projects, Seth Godin, and The Big Picture.

5 key advantages to using an RSS feed include the following:

  • Freedom of privacy:Website visitors do not have to share personal information in order to gain access to the content
  • Users are in control: The users choose what information gets shared with them
  • Up to date information: Users have access to the latest news, trends, technology that are of most interest to them
  • Time saving: It is a faster method of scanning content as users are able to go through multiple streams at once
  • It’s a 24/7 deal: Get fresh content around the clock, 7 days a week
What are you waiting for? I encourage everyone who has not yet discovered the wonders RSS feed reader can do to your life, to go check it out at once! It really makes life easy.
