ICQ Toolbar with RSS Support

ICQ.com has updated their toolbar for Internet Explorer adding a handy RSS feature that allows you to view RSS feeds inside the browser window. The feature comes pre-programmed with dozens of listings across a broad range of categories such as Arts, News, Sports, Games, and Technology. Adding a Web site's RSS feed into the ICQ toolbar involves manually copying and pasting the URL into the Feeds Manager, whereas other browsers such as Opera and Safari will automatically enable the RSS feed just by pressing a displayed button in the address bar. However, the ICQ toolbar brings RSS feeds inside Internet Explorer for the first time.

For the first time in Internet Explorer? The folks at Pluck will be amazed to hear that! :-)

@herberg2: No, read again...:

"the ICQ toolbar brings RSS feeds inside Internet Explorer for the first time."

Means that it's the first time that the ICQ Toolbar features an RSS feeder.

Pluck never worked on my PC. Installed but never appeared

Sorry Nafcom, I meant it the way herberg2 understood it. I figured I would just take the chance and say it was the first time RSS feeds were integrated into Internet Explorer since I haven't seen any third-party application do it before, but it looks like http://www.pluck.com/ can do it, so that is at least one. So I can either edit my original article or people can read these comments for alternative applications.
