What is a blog reader?

A blog reader is software that allows you to subscribe to multiple blogs or other RSS feeds. To monitor the feeds, you simply open the blog reader and it tells you which feeds have new content and what that content is. Blog readers leverage your efforts, allowing you to follow many more feeds than you otherwise would.

Uses of Blog Readers:

• A blog reader provides a single place to receive all the RSS feeds one subscribes to.
