By the time I finish writing this article, most of you guys would have seen it already. You’d rarely come across someone who wouldn’t visit Google at least once in a day. But just before I start mine I have to mention that Google has pulled off one of the most creative doodles of all. This one was to commemorate Louis Braille’s birthday yesterday. Hats-off to the design team at Google.
For me, the discovery of the RSS Feed was the single most brave achievement of 2005. The readers gave me an opportunity to compile several chunks of good information from the feeds at one place. I first began by using Newsgator because of it’s online capabilities and I was quite happy with it. Later I switched to Mozilla Thunderbird (yes you heard that right) which is also an excellent RSS reader. it also allows categarization in folders so I can have all my Apple Macintosh related feeds sitting pretty in a folder by the same name. Thunderbird was by far the most loved one but it required installation and wasn’t available online. Not that I travel much but it’s helpful if I can check the same feeds from home as well. But if you are looking for an installable reader, switch to Thunderbird.
