We recommend readers that allow you to set message-checking frequency to 30 seconds. We do not recommend Google FeedFetcher for this reason.
People around our office like these readers:
- Bloglines with the Bloglines Notifier
- This is the optimal reader as it notifies you when a new item goes live.
- Firefox Livebooks with the RSS Ticker extension
- Your browser must be active to see the notification.
How to set your reader checking frequency
Steps for changing the update frequency to 30 seconds are as follows:
- Bloglines
- Right-click Bloglines Notifier icon in system tray.
- Select "Settings".
- Change "Check messages every" to 30 seconds.
- Click Okay.
- Firefox Livebookmarks with RSS Ticker extension
- Open the Firefox browser.
- Click the "Tools" menu and then select "Add-ons".
- Highlight "RSS Ticker" and then click the Options button.
- Click the "Advanced" tab.
- Under "Update Frequency" choose "30" from the drop-down menu.
