Feedreader 3.12

It's probably nothing new but it's useful to know (or repeat the knowledge).

XML presentes the data format which supplies users around the Internet with new desireable contents. Web pages which change their content pretty often uses them a lot. If you want to be able to oversight them, you'll have to use the aggregator. Best aggregator in this point of view is Feedreader 3.12.
Feedreader (http://download.feedreader.com/FeedReader312Setup.exe ) is a FREE RSS (XML) news aggregation and probably the best solution that provides robust,state-of-the-art features in an intuitive, user-friendly environment. It works on principles such as linking and connecting programmes and web pages using feeds. When you demand the content from your programme, it gets in contact with the web page and takes over the data you asked for.
Data are usually in HTML format, but it can also be in others, such as multimedia.

Advantages comparing with web pages are the following:
Users are always informed of the content without visiting the web page itself.
Content is presented pretty simple and it's not necessary for a user to aknowledge the whole complex navigation of the web page.
Multimedia content is automaticly saved on the users's computer.

Advantages comparing with e-mail:
Users are not obligated to give their e-mail adresses if they want to use this Internet software (caring their privacy).
When users are willing to stop receiving data, they just remove the link of that web page from the programme.

I remeber how thrilled I was when I found out about this software.

Journalists are in the best position. With this, they can follow a big amount of news from different sources, they can specify news, they can make their own archive of news which they can also use pretty easy.
