Add-On To Improve IE7 RSS Reader

One of the new features added to Internet Explorer 7 was a built in RSS reader. This functionality is great for simply subscribing to and reading feeds without the need for an additional program. If you make use of IE7′s built in feed reader, then you should take a look at the RikReader add-on.

From their web site, this free add-on enhances the built in IE7 RSS reader functionality to include:

  • A unified view of all your feeds: See all your items in a single view. “Codename: RikReader” collapses the hierarchy of feeds and folders into a single list of items ordered by date.
  • A dynamic interface: Any new items or changes to the feed store will automatically show up in the current view.
  • Full-text, indexed searching: Perform advanced searchers over all of your items, instantly, in one go.
  • Tagging and Annotations: Add searchable notes with text and ink, label items with free-form tags.

Additionally, there are a handful of keyboard shortcuts which you can use to navigate your news items.

For users of IE7′s RSS reader, this is great addition to have.
