A Directory Of RSS Variants

This week's Loose Wire column is about how to get RSS feeds without too much palaver.

Full text at the Far Eastern Economic Review (subscription required, trial available) or at WSJ.com (subscription required). Old columns at feer.com here.

Here's some other stuff I wasn't able to include in the column for reasons of space (I've removed the blurb, but all are worth checking out. More detailed reviews to follow). All involve feeds in some form or another, but aren't straight standalone RSS readers, either because they're web-based or because they do other stuff as well. Additions/corrections/opinions as welcome as ever.
