Term2.png FEED READER
also known as aggregator, feed aggregator and news reader, is a software, similar to an email account, that enables the user to collect desired web feeds to be shown on one or multiple screens. [Click here] to see a list of feed readers to which the user can subscribe to and manually enter the targeted feed URL or just insert the address of the website and the feed reader will verify if a feed is available. If a web feed does not exist for a website, the website address cannot be added to the feed reader. [1] See also: Web Feed, RSS
