What about non-firefox users? This is what Al Mohler suggested:

Snarfer is very popular.
Tucows is always a great source. I tend to go with what large populations of users like - especially when they're $0.

Benefits of RSS
You control which RSS channel you would like to view.
You only view headlines and descriptions, making it easy for you to scan topics.
The link will take you directly to that article or broadcast.
You are alerted when the site is updated.

See also the threads on podcasting. Podcasting is accomplished with XML files. I wrote an article on my website: http://www.websitemaven.com/howtopodcast.html to help churches and individuals understand and do it themselves.Originally posted by Jeff_Bartel
What is the RSS/XML anyway?

I'm using Opera, which has an email client, newsreader, etc integrated into the browser and that's probably what I'll stick with. Its newsreader is top notch.
I'm still not too happy with Firefox melting down on me several months ago after installing version 1.5. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you can do this, that and the other to get the bookmarks back and anybody who can't figure it out is a moron, but I don't have time to constantly tinker with it. And I like Opera's mail client better than Mozilla's Thunderbird.
I would recommend the Sage extension for Firefox users. I didn't care much for the newsreader function on Thunderbird (Mozilla's email client), which usually has you viewing the web page in Thunderbird, but having to pull it up in Firefox if you want to comment, etc.
Can't help you for IE since I haven't used it as my default browser in well over a year, although I think Outlook Express probably has a newsreader if you use it.

Safari, if you have a Mac.
Chris,
Does Omea intregrate with Outlook or take over its functions? Outlook 2007 has an RSS reader integrated into it, but it still does not have a newsreader function.
