    What Is RSS Feed Reader And Why Is It Important?

    With so much happening around the world and the digital world, sometimes if not most of the
    time it gets really hard to keep up. Tons of content are being released daily and going through it
    proves to be a really hard job. Now how do people search all of this stuff? Some go through their
    trusty search engines, other visit the websites but let me share a valuable secret with you today,
    the best way to go through it all would be the RSS Feed Reader. It may be old-school but it
    definitely gets the job done and with utmost precision.
    RSS is a very simple but important concept to understand, but it is something that intimidates
    many of us getting started with SEO and web searches. Hopefully by the end of this blog, you
    will know what a RSS Feed is and why is it so important.

    What Is An RSS Feed Reader?


    Let’s start with the basics over here, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, Syndication
    means sharing or transferring. It’s basically called this because it’s a feed from websites that
    makes indication or sharing really simple. For example, there is an informative website that you
    absolutely love right, let’s say entrepreneur.com or IGN.com. Every article that they publish to
    their website is one you definitely want to read and even share it with your friends on social
    media or any other platform. Now instead of visiting their website every day to check what new
    articles they have posted, you can subscribe to the RSS Feed from their website and be notified
    whenever they post something new.
    Now there are some softwares which are made for following RSS Feeds and we call them RSS
    Feed Reader. Majority of the RSS Feed Readers out there work in a familiar manner, you give
    the reader a list of feeds that you have in mind and in return you will get posts. The openness and
    accessibility of the RSS Feed is really friendly over here, seeing the range and familiarity of RSS
    Feed Reader, developers have also released an RSS Reader which comes in extra handy.
    The Feed Reader is very customizable and you can test it out in any manner, varying on the type
    of content you desire and are following, be it blogs, news articles, gaming news you might want
    images and a specific type of layout to go with it, and if it is work related information you need
    then images won’t matter here and you would be looking for density of the information. What I
    am trying to say over here is that there is an option for almost everything.
    Seeing the technological advancement these days, there are a lot of ways to get notifications. Let
    us take mobiles for example, there are push notifications from your favorite apps and email-
    notifications. Same is the scenario when it comes to desktops, you get push notifications, email
    ones, but also web extensions and websites which send you notifications. You can customize and
    configure these notifications too, may it be vibrations or sticky notifications, and there are a lot
    of options on the table.
    If you are interested in getting yourself an RSS Feed Reader I have some of the best options for
    you:
     Feedreader: It’s a very simple and minimized reader which makes collection easy with
    basic categories and some of the most amazing accessible tools. It also has a great
    preview option to show you the posts that you have selected.
     Feedly: Feedly is an amazing tool which can be used for entertainment and professional
    needs. Well it has a really nice and simple interface (Really User-Friendly) you can easily
    collect feeds from almost everywhere.
     Flipboard: Flipboard is an award-winning RSS Feed Reader and is known especially for
    its gorgeous design on mobile platforms. If you want a more organic like structure then
    do go for flipboard.

    Why Is RSS Feed Useful?


    Well to be short and really precise over here, RSS Feed benefits both subscribers and content
    owners.
    Content owners don’t have to do anything in order to have their content distributed to audiences,
    once someone signs up for your feed, content is automatically distributed when you hit the
    publish button.
    Subscribers can ask to have all their favorite blog and news sites content delivered to one place –
    your email inbox or personal feed reader. You no longer have to visit your favorite websites to
    find out if anything new has been published. Just go to your reader and scan the headlines, see it
    really is that much easy.
    Feed readers give website visitors the option to subscribe anonymously. They make it easy to
    scan, sort, categorize, tag, save, delete, and/or share content, all in one place. Many of today’s
    readers let you access content with or without an Internet connection, and that’s a huge benefit
    for those who are on the road a lot.
