Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader/ ) is one of the if not the best rss feed reader online. If you don't know already rss stands for "Really simple syndication". Its used for subscribing to different blogs or news sources. You can use feed readers like Google Reader to have a one stop place to reed all the feeds you subscribe to. Its a one stop place for all your news updated continuously.

For any already registered Googler its super quick and easy to get Google Reader set up. You just go over to: http://www.google.com/reader/ enter in your password and your ready to go.

Google Reader does not update the feeds the moment the blog or news source is updated, but I find it fairly fast.
