Use Brief for Easy Feed Reading
I like to read news on a lot of different topics. Politics, gadgets, local news, sports, etc. RSS and Atom feeds are a great way to keep up with things, but I'm always on the hunt for a newsreader that fits into my processes, rather than forcing me to change my habits to work with it.
I've found one - Brief. Brief is a Firefox extension that makes reading feeds as easy as reading usenet posts using a good news reader. If you don't know what usenet is, well, go to Wikipedia
What Brief does is pull together all your feeds in the sidebar, give you quick access to unread items, and allows you to quickly mark them as read or actually go to the page and read it.
I know, it sounds simple, but it's really a great tool for keeping up with a variety of feeds.
