"FreshReader is a web-based, server type RSS and Atom feed reader." You might feel somehow complicated to read this explanation if you are not familiar with the recent Internet trend, but this is one of the most influencing software for me in the past one year. How many favorite sites do you have or how many sites do you check on the Internet everyday? If you have less than ten, you can use the bookmark function of your browser software; you only have to open your bookmark one by one and check the update of each site. However, if you want to look around more sites everyday this method of using bookmark comes to grief. RSS or Atom is a protocol which was developed to solve this problem of bookmark and you can take advantage of it in the latest version of the Internet Explorer or Firefox, but they are not always useful because they are slow. This FreshReader, running on my server every hour, collects hundreds of RSS or Atom feeds and organize them so that I can read all the information on just one site. It's so useful and powerful that I can browse all the update information at one glance. You need to have your own server to use FreshReader, but I think it pays well.
