RSS Readers - RSS Aggregators

Which is the best free Rss Reader?

	There are now many RSS Readers available to download for free from the internet. Our favourite is 'FeedReader' which we like because of its ease of use and functionality. Click here if you would like to read more about why we chose FeedReader. To save you time, we have configured FeedReader with some of the major medical sources (feeds) already installed, which you can download here.

What about online RSS services?

Instead of installing an RSS reader on your pc, you could use an online RSS service. An online RSS service can be useful for those times you are away from your own computer. Many people use both an online service and a locally installed reader. Click here for a list of online RSS services.

How do I find which websites provide RSS files?

Once you have installed your RSS reader, or hooked up with an RSS online service, you need to tell your RSS reader which online resources it should report on. To find which websites have enabled RSS, you can visit your favourite websites and look for an RSS link or XML symbol such as these:

Clicking on a symbol will take you to the RSS page, also know as an 'RSS feeds', from where you simply need to copy the url address (hyperlink) from your browser's address bar into your RSS reader. To add your new RSS feed most RSS readers have an 'add new feed' button that you simply click upon to enter the hyperlink for the RSS feed.

Another way of finding RSS feeds is by visitring an online RSS directory where you will find lots of RSS resources listed. Click here to visit the medworm directory. We are constantly updating it with new medical feeds. If you know of a medical RSS feed that we have not listed, please let us know so that we can add it to the directory.

Where can I find a more advanced Rss Reader?

After using FeedReader and getting a feel for how useful RSS can be, you may decide that you want a more advanced aggregator. Our choice is FeedDemon, chosen for its excellent searching and filing abilities. Imagine a whole team of researchers constantly scanning the internet for articles related to your area of interest, and then filing them for your future reference – well that’s just about what you can have with Feed Demon.

You can download a 30 day trial of FeedDemon here, after which if you want to continue using it you will have to pay a license fee of $29.95 (which we think is well worth the money).
