Info Aggregator: an e-mail based news aggregation tool
THIS WEEK'S NetSpeak explores the features of an e-mail based news aggregation service that can be used to receive news feeds with an email client.
In the past this column featured different kinds of news aggregators that collect, organise and display RSS (Rich Site Summary) files on a single window with user friendly navigation tools, where you can read the latest info available on your favourite sites without visiting those sites. (As mentioned in last week's column, an RSS file is an XML-coded file published regularly by web sites with condensed information on the latest content available on them).
