Pluck RSS Reader Shut Down Notice

Consumer RSS reader services will be discontinued January 5, 2007.

All versions of Pluck's RSS readers for Internet Explorer, FireFox and Pluck's web edition will be discontinued on 1/5/2007. The RSS Readers have served our community of end users well for several years, but with Pluck's focus in other business areas, the venerable RSS readers are set to be retired from our product line.

Over the next two months, you will have the opportunity to export your RSS feed subscriptions to other RSS readers of your choosing.

Please see the instructions on this page for details on how to export your subscriptions and bookmarks (Pluck for IE only) for use in other readers.

You have until 1/5/2007 to export your data, after which our servers will be turned off and your data will be deleted. Note that the Pluck RSS readers are not supported for use on the new releases of IE (version 7) and FireFox (version 2).

The good news is that RSS reading capabilities continue to develop across the web. You can get them by default in all of your favorite browsers, and RSS-based news reading capabilities are rapidly being baked into your favorite web sites — for example, visit www.foxnews.com/mynews to setup a personalized portal of your favorite news.

We hope you enjoyed using our readers as much as we enjoyed building them for you. We look forward to interacting with you in the future on publisher, media and portal sites using Pluck products.


Recommended RSS readers

If you don't already have another RSS reader in mind, we suggest you check out BlogLines or Google's new RSS reader. Most newer web browsers also have a built-in RSS Reader.

How to export your data from Pluck for Internet Explorer

  1. Launch Internet Explorer and open the Pluck sidebar (in your IE menubar, select View > Explorer Bar > Pluck.) You may need to sign in.
  2. Once you are signed in, look at the menus in the sidebar. Choose File > Import & Export."
  3. Choose "Export Bookmarks..." and save the file. This saves your Pluck bookmarks (not feeds) in HTML format so you can import them into your browser or other program.
  4. Once again, choose "File > Import & Export" and this time, choose "Export Feeds." This saves your feeds in an OPML format, so you can import them into the feed reader of your choice.
