Syndication and the older computer

After spending some time trying to install some software to read all of these weblogs I decided to pass on some of my experience and wisdom.

If you have a relatively new computer then there should be no problem (Win XP onwards). However if you are working with Windows 98 then there is a very limited choice of software available to read the RSS/Atom feeds from the weblogs.

I finally settled on an online RSS Reader called Newsgator Online, there are others of course but I had to settle on one. There are obvious advantages to using an online RSS Reader;

• Can access it from any computer
  
• Does not require any downloading
  
• Keeps the IT Department smiling
  

Jargon Busting

RSS =Really Simple Syndication. Atom = This is just another standard of syndication (like the difference between .doc and .txt)
