What is a news feed reader?

A news feed reader is a program that automatically and regularly reads news feeds. When it discovers new or udpated news articles, it sends them to you. It can send updates to your email address, or add them to your personal web page such as your Google or Yahoo home page.

You can get your news feed reader to fetch news from nearly all your favourite websites, and deliver it to a place of your choosing. This can save you from having to browse lots of web pages on a regular basis.
