    Do any of you guys use this? I tried to use it and it works fine, but how do you configure which RSS feeds it shows? There is just a bunch of predefined selections. Thanks.

    I believe that when you add RSS feeds through Internet Explorer they will show up in the RSS gadget.

    Ahhh, that is interesting. Never thought about that. What about through firefox? Is there a config file I can edit somewhere? Its weird since I have RSS feeds called "All feeds in the United States"? How is this helpful? I actually never used RSS feeds before, so I wanted to play with them.

    Thanks Angelic. Yeah, I looked up a bunch of good RSS readers and found a few, but I wanted something simple that I could use as a gadget, not as a whole separate app. The one in WIn 7 is ok, I guess. I added some new feeds to it through IE, as I was suggested. Looks like I can't do that through FireFox though.

    Yeah, it's hard locked to using the "RSS Feed Store" within Windows. AFAIK only IE and MS apps actually take advantage of this functionality... :rolleyes:
