Hello Everybody,

I am new member of this group. Nice to see a group of RSS Aggregators. This is my first mail to this group. So I'ld like to share some of nice things which I know about RSS Readers.

Recently I have found one excellent RSS Reader called named "Active Web Reader". Polish user interface backed up by strong functionality and strong support. Its totally free.You can download and use it http://deskshare.com/awr.aspx. Also find it on http://download.com

The very nice thing about it is the preloaded feeds and webpages. It comes with some of preloaded RSS feeds. You can arrange feeds by catagory. No restriction on catogory. Import and Export of RSS feeds through OPML is one of the excellent feature of it. It not only discovers RSS feeds in browsed pages of its own browser but also in Internet Explorer. You can add the discovered feeds in feed list very easily. Tabbed browsing makes life easy by opening pages in same browser but in new windows. Auto Update of RSS feeds works great. As well as it comes with some of ellegant styles that you can use to change the view of RSS feeds. Expand and Collapse style is really helpful. Active Web Reader also provides Favorites section where you can import Internet Explorer's  favorites. You can also stick your favorite web pages into list. 

        But the most impresssive thing that this Reader provides is customization of RSS Reader. There is one other application called as "Active Web Reader Customizer" (http://deskshare.com/awrc.aspx) which enables you to create custom version and freely distrubute it. So you can add your own feeds and web pages in Customizer and see those feeds and webpages as preloaded when you install it. What a nice idea ! I really fascinated by it. Currently I have created custom version of Active Web Reader and added my own feeds, As well as I am planning to put this custom version on my own website for downloading purpose. Once people downloads custom version, they can see my own feeds which will come with it. It is really beneficial for those websites that have their own RSS feeds, So the idea is ...just below your RSS feeds, give a link to download custom version of Active Web Reader which will come with the preloaded feeds of your own websites. User won't need to add those feeds manually. I saw many custom version of RSS reader , but Active Web Reader's customization is really different and useful.

Hope this information would help you.

In next mail,I would share some of the other interesting thing that happens in RSS Industry,

Bye.
