Most of the visitors to this site already know about this, but I thought it might be worth an article. I remember an application years ago (1993?) that would let you setup multiple news sources and when the program loaded it would go, skim their sites and present you the new stories. It was a news aggregator of sorts, I don’t recall it’s name or what file format it used for the news feeds, but it was useful. These days it’s called RSS, there are standards, this site implements RSS feeds as do many others.
