"The internet has clearly changed my reading habits. I’m reading more and more sites, with more and more articles to read, every day. Thankfully, the invention of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) has provided me with a much easier way of getting to these articles – I dread to think how keeping up could be done with old fashioned web browser bookmarks.
RSS packages up the text and headlines of most news sites, blogs or other frequently updated sites, into a standard format – and that standard format means that a computer program can process and present them in such a way as to make it fast and easy to go through – when layout remains static, but content changes, it’s very easy on the eye.
And of course the smartphone can get in on the action as well – why buy a newspaper when your mobile screen can call up the latest news and information from sites and people which are important to you? So I’m going to take a look at a number of solutions to let you read RSS on your smartphone and see how they compare."
