RSSOwl is a cool RSS reader application. For those of you who don’t know what an RSS reader is, here is an explanation.

What is an RSS reader? First of all, RSS (Wikipedia Article) is a format that shows regular updates from blogs, news sites etc in a standard format, so that you can easily keep up to date with all the latest information. An RSS reader is a program that collects these RSS “feeds” for you and manages them, all in one place. This means you can read your favourite blogs, with all their latest posts, all in one program!

The logo below is the standard image for RSS, so if you see a blog with this logo (such as StuffToGet.net in the top right-hand corner), it should have a feed you can subscribe to!
