Although Google Reader is probably one of my favorite RSS (Really Simple Syndication) readers, Windows 7 also has a clean and simple RSS Reader / Gadget built-in. The Windows 7 Feed Reader gadget runs very light, and you shouldn’t notice any performance issues unlike old Windows Vista gadgets. Although it’s not as robust as Google Reader, it’s good enough for keeping track of just a few feeds real-time which can be handy for news sites or groovyPost!
