So instead of surfing through The New York Times site for news, going to eBay (EBAY) to track a particular auction, or checking with Apple’s (AAPL ) iTunes to see when a new recording is available, you can get access to all the information through one Web page or download to your computer. The information you get, called a feed, comes to you through a piece of software called a newsreader.
My favorite newsreader is Bloglines.
