I’ve been relying on Microsoft’s Live website to function as my RSS reader. It worked fairly well and I was happy with it, but Microsoft announced that they are shutting it down. So I was forced to find a new way to keep track of my RSS feeds.
I downloaded and installed RSSOwl as a “Portableapp” (a portable application) on my thumb drive. And I am really happy I did. It works great and has more functionality than Microsoft’s Live product. It’s free and available at AfterDawn.

As long as I have my thumb drive with me, I’ve got my RSS reader with me, which I can access from any Windows machine connected to the internet.
