A plucky day, I found a new RSS reader

As I mentioned yesterday, I've been studying and reading all I can about RSS and feeds and blogs. I mentioned yesterday that I expect the major browsers to provide support for RSS feeds and the XML language that creates them someday soon.

Today I found a site that provides a free tool that gives an Internet Explorer add-on that enables you to read your favorite feeds directly through your browser. It's called Pluck, and it looks like it gives a lot more than RSS feed reader capability, it enables you to search several sites including Google, Amazon, and eBay right from your tool bar, for example.

If you want to try out Pluck, just click on the name.

UPDATE (Important)! After using Pluck for just a couple hours, I had to uninstall it, it was slowing my computer to a crawl. Unfortunate, because it had some nice features, but I couldn't tolerate the slow access times to other web pages. Your experience may vary, but since the Pluck software is fairly new, I'll wait a bit to see if I get reports that it's improved the performance. I can't personally recommend it at this time.
