Firefox and RSS

Most of you probably already love and are using Firefox, the lightweight open source browser based on Mozilla code. If you haven't, check it out, you'll love it. I won't go into it here as I'll assume you have =)

But have you checked out the new RSS features? I love RSS for keeping track of news sites and my favorite blogs. Now mozilla makes it painless and easy to use right in the browser.

When you go to a site that has an RSS feed, an orange "RSS" icon will appear at the lower right hand corner of the browser. You should see one right now, as this site has an RSS feed. (if you don't see it and are using Firefox, make sure its upgraded to the latest version!)

Click on this link and you'll get a menu to subscribe to one or more feeds. It places this feed as a folder in your bookmarks and the individual news items are links in the folder. Sweet! Simple! I love it.
