Who says RSS is dead?
With apps for smartphones and add-ons for browsers, RSS readers have transformed from lists of drab links to eye candy that displays information relevant to you.
Many even let you share your favorite stories over Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks from within the app.
And they still perform the function they were originally meant to: a one-stop for finding all the news you want in one place.
With all this innovation, it will be a long time before RSS becomes extinct.
We put together some of the most useful and stylish RSS readers for a variety of platforms.
Reeder will make your RSS feed look like a newspaper
Reeder is one of the most well-designed RSS readers we've seen on the iPad. You can import your feeds from sources like Google Reader. Articles appear on an off-white background, reminiscent of a newspaper. There's also a built-in browser so you can read the full story if your feed only shows snippets. We use Reeder on our iPad and love it. It costs $4.99 in the App Store, but the excellent design is worth it.
Google Reader will let you quickly create an awesome RSS list
Google Reader makes it easy to find the RSS feeds you want to follow. Just type in a publication, and it does the work for you. You can also add stories to your favorites and share with people in your Gmail contacts list.
Feedly is an attractive add-on for Firefox
Feedly is one of the most popular add-ons for Firefox. It organizes your RSS feeds by category and includes a nice, desktop-friendly layout.
