Channel Viewers and News Readers

Channel viewers, news readers and aggregators are alternate terms for the same type of application. They have been used for sometime by webloggers and tech-savvy journalists, among others, who want to monitor information posted on various web sites around the globe.

By using these viewers, they bring a world of information to their desktop and save themselves hours of time surfing the net, trying to find the data they want. These viewers are typically made available for free, via the Internet. Most of them allow customization of channel settings to notify their users when any new information is posted in any channel to which they have subscribed. The viewers do all the work of gathering data, and present it as soon as it is available.

In recent months, channel viewers have matured, and are breaking out of the geek world in which they were originally conceived. This technology is now ready for prime time, and is easy to use by regular folks, no propellers required.
