With the assistance of Active Web Reader v2.42, one can more effectively keep track of new RSS feeds as they are made available, and also keep track of old favorites. The program’s interface makes it quite easy to read the feeds, and it can also monitor web site changes. With the program’s auto discovery feature, users can also browse websites as they add feeds to their “favorites” list. This version of Active Web Reader is compatible with all operating systems running Windows 98 or newer. [KMG]

Whether the location is down the block or across the globe, this helpful application can help you find and map it. USA PhotoMaps 2.75 downloads USGS aerial photos and topographic map data from Micrsoft’s TerraServer website and saves it on the users’ hard drive. Additionally, users can zoom in on any number of areas, view the latitude and longitude lines, and take a closer look at any given photos that may be associated with waypoints. This version is compatible with all operating systems running Windows 98 or newer. [KMG]
