Curtin Colloquy:

Once you have chosen the RSS reader that suits you, you use it to subscribe to the RSS feeds of any blogs or websites you are interested in. (Most RSS readers make it easy to susbcribe to RSS feeds - they can detect the feed with the click of a button.) The RSS reader periodically checks the feeds subscribed to for any updates or changes to the sites, and provides you with a headline and a short easy-to-scan summary of each article or update, with links to the full articles. You can skim these headlines and summaries easily and only read the full article if it catches your attention.

Read the whole thing for some good comparative reviews of readers and subscription services. Wiki's are apparently next on the agenda over there....
