I use the Thunderbird RSS and it's a pretty handy way to get blogs/new 
site stories into your email client.  Sucks for things that are longer 
than 1 webpage cause it then just dumps out to the browser for 
subsequent pages.  Other than that, it's a handy and sleek way to read 
news sites right in your email client.  Looks just like another email 
account.

Firefox can also make bookmarks called livebookmarks to RSS feeds.  Pop 
one in your linkbar above your surfing window and it will automatically 
refresh the headlines and all you have to do is read them then jump 
straight to the story.  Been months since I went to the actual /. homepage.
