Also known as aggregator, feed aggregator and news reader. It is a tool that allows the user to receive automatic updates made to favorite websites. It can be built into web browser, email software, website management systems or stand-alone application. The feed reader offers the possibility to see the desired information and saves time looking for it. If a web feed does not exist for a website, the website address cannot be added to the feed reader and automatic updates cannot be received. [1] See also: Web Feed, RSS
