Recently we’ve begun to deploy some Web 2.0 technologies within the workplace, namely blogs and a wiki.  The team I’m on is fairly technical, and in some ways its a bit surprising that none of us had tried something like this before… but that’s a post for another day.

With the increasing popularity of the tools, it became evident quickly that browsing through all the pages on a daily basis to help monitor content and just stay on top of things.  The solution: an RSS reader of course.  I’ve been used to using SharpReader on my older Windows machines, and since I’ve moved to the Mac I pretty much rely on the Google-tabs pages to track all the headlines.  But in the office I quite literally live in my outlook.

Enter RSS Popper.  This is a quick to install plugin for Outlook which places a “mail items” folder under your mailbox, and fetches all of the new entries from specified RSS feeds, and can do each feed at a custom interval if need be.  This is a basic plugin, there’s no doubt about that, but its quick and reasonably reliable.

Try it out, download your copy of RSS Popper from the website.
