Guardian launches its branded RSS reader

by Neil MacLean

Another breach in the barrier to popular RSS adoption. The Guardian has just launched its branded Newspoint RSS reader in partnership with Consenda.
 
It comes pre-populated with Guardian feeds, unsurprisingly, and you get more ads than the Superbowl – they are very intrusive - but travel PR’s will notice they can add content easily so client’s RSS feeds can cosy up next to the regular Guardian travel section (provided they publish sufficiently compelling content for anyone to want it).
 
Click the close arrow and the reader becomes a desktop ticker which could stream late fares and deals.  There is also a handy clipping service to save items online or to your hard drive.
 
Beware, in its default setting, the reader junks feeds after just four days.

Better than a reader, try pasting a feed URL into feed2js. You don’t need to be a coder, but get given a nice piece of code back. Create a new page on your blog, enter the code and save.

A perfect feed is drawn into your page. Easier than a reader, and a nice reason to peruse your own blog pages.
