I thought I would get into introducing software I use that I think is cool, so I’ve started a “Cool Software” category. So, without further ado, I introduce Slick RSS.



Slick RSS is a RSS reader directly built into Google Chrome. Having it built into the browser means that you don’t have to have extra applications open. An icon in the top-right side of the page displays how many unread posts there are on the blogs you follow, so you don’t have to keep checking either. Clicking on the button pulls up the Slick RSS tab. The tab (and the button) can be configured with a number of options.

Slick RSS helps prevent me from spending all day reading the blogs I like, while helping me see what I really would like to read. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read blogs, whether occasionally or more frequently.

Are there any alternatives you use? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
