[HOWTO] - View RSS Feeds in OS X (out of the box)

Although Safari will be adding RSS support in the 10.4 Tiger version of OS X, you can still view RSS feeds without having to download any 3rd party software.

Most people don't know that this is in Sherlock, and some people don't know what RSS is. ( For more information on RSS feeds go here )

To use this:

1. Launch Sherlock
2. Click on the Channels button
3. Click on the SherlockRSS channel
4. Enter the RSS URL you would like to read.

Yep, it's basic, but it gets the job done.

I think Sherlock is great! I actually use it quite often.
I hope it gets a significant update in OS X 10.4 Tiger.

Hmm... For people who're actually using Sherlock and have no need for a full-fledged newsreader, okay. But My 50+ RSS feeds need a dedicated reader, of course... Still: Nice find. When did this get added to Sherlock, btw.?

Well, it looks like Sherlock may make a comeback since the demise of Watson.

I don't know. It looks like most (if not all) of the stuff Sherlock does has a dashboard widget in Tiger.

Sherlock has an RSS channel?

Color me surprised!

Where does this RSS channel reside?
