A great way to read blogs - BlogBridge
We've decided to make BlogBridge our RSS reader of choice. We'll be installing it on all of our student computers over the summer, and making it available to staff.
An RSS reader allows you to read all your favourite blogs and news sites from one place by making use of technology called RSS feeds. The reader automatically checks for updates, so there is no more trudging round sites to see if anything has changed.
There are loads of free RSS Readers available, so it was a tough choice, but we went for BlogBridge as it meet all our key critera:
- Friendly user interface
- Ability to access your feeds at home or at work.
- Available for Windows and Mac.
You need to sign up to the BlogBridge service if you want your feeds to be available from any location, but this is a quick and painless excercise.
It's also got the added advantage of integrating with Del.icio.us - a service that allows you share your web bookmarks on line. That might sound pointless but in practice it is great - I'll talk more about Del.icio.us and my success (or otherwise) in getting other colleagues to us it another time.
