There are several ways to access RSS feeds. You can install a news reader that displays RSS feeds from the Web sites you select. Like an email program or a web browser, the news reader serves as a kind of information portal, and provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. Once the RSS reader is set up to access subwayalerts.com, it will continually poll the subwayalerts.com RSS feeds for the latest headlines. A number of free and commercial news readers are available for download. Popular news readers include RSS Bandit, Sage, Feed Demon and Bloglines.
