A feed is usually a group of headlines, brief summaries, and links to the full text of the story. The reader/aggregator then automatically goes out to the feeds you have subscribed to and displays any updated articles that it finds.

Need a feed reader?
Here's a list of some of the most popular options:

On the web
If you don't want to have to install a program on you computer, many people choose add content to theirMy Yahoo!, Google Personalized Homepage, My MSN, or My AOL to read feeds right within the home page that their browser starts in. Other web-based feed readers include Rojo, Bloglines or NewsGator Online. All of these web-based services are free, although you will need to register to create an account.

On your computer
If you want a feed reading program that runs on your own computer, there are a few options. Anyone using the Mozilla Firefox web browser has support for feeds built-in, and Microsoft Windows users have support for feeds in Internet Explorer 7. Macintosh users can also use the built-in support for feeds in the Safari web browser.

If you want a separate program to read feeds, you can use FeedDemon or NewsGator for Microsoft Outlook if you're using Microsoft Windows. Both tools let you switch between the program and the web-based reader at any time. If you're on a Macintosh running OS X, the most popular feed reader is NetNewsWire, which can also connect to the web-based services.
