Free rssowl rss rdf atom newsreader software for windows

System Requirements: Java VM 1.5+

Enhancements: This is a major update with lots of new features and bugfixes. Please visit http://www.rssowl.org for a list of changes.

SSOwl is a free RSS / RDF / Atom newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library.
With RSSOwl it is possible to read all RSS versions (includes RDF).
RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in a more efficient manner.
Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are called RSS readers or "aggregators". RSSOwl is such an application. It lets you gather, organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and sharing, and much more.
RSSOwl is also free, fast, cross-platform, and unobtrusive. Its easy to install, easy to use, and easy to move.
Why "Owl"? The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, and a quiet, efficient hunter. Youll find RSSOwls "big eyes" a big help when scanning the Webs vast array of RSS resources.
