Chapter 2. Using Feeds
I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
Woody Allen
Before we get into the tricky business of producing, parsing, scripting, and extending our own RSS and Atom feeds, it makes sense to look at how they are consumed. In this chapter, therefore, we shall look at the various reader applications currently available for your pleasure.[1]
[1] I have not attempted to give a complete overview of all available RSS applications: many applications have been omitted for no reason other than space or my own oversight. Nor do I have an opinion about which is best for the job.
