FeedDemon, by NewsGator:

This is a great application and service, which provides both a browser based rss feed reader (like google-reader) and a downloadable application for use on the desktop. Both can be sychronised and new tweets are easy to keep track of, and the built in browser works well

 

Game Tracker

Userful web application for finding game servers from all over the globe, with a huge number of games, predominantly, but not limited to first person shooters. Great for finding servers through specific searches, where in game trackers sometimes fall short.

 

Australia & NZ Snowboard Hub

A relatively new application, available as a widget style application for desktops. It provides a series of feeds, such as news, photos, competitions etc. Recommended for a look to any snowboarders, but it is still new, and gaining more content.

Twitter is an online service, which revolves around the question “what are you doing?”. Users may post short topics (known as tweets), under 140 characters in length usually with such messages as “leaving work” or “eating a pie” etc, although many are more interesting than that.

Using the twitter service, users can also “follow” other Twitterers to keep updated with their recent activities.

In short, it behaves partly like a scaled down blog and rss reader.

in addition, because of the small size of the tweets, it is possible to recieve sms updates through your mobile phone to follow your friends.
