Google Groups is finally out of beta, so I thought I’d update my blog post from 2004 which described how to subscribe to Google Groups feeds in FeedDemon (or any feed reader, for that matter).
To view the available feeds for a specific Usenet group, navigate to a URL which uses this format:
http://groups.google.com/group/NAME-OF-GROUP/feeds
Or to skip that and subscribe to an Atom 1.0 feed containing the most recent 15 messages, use this format:
http://groups.google.com/group/NAME-OF-GROUP/feed/atom_v1_0_msgs.xml
For example, to see feeds for the alt.html newsgroup, browse to this page:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.html/feeds
And to subscribe to the Atom feed for alt.html, use this URL:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.html/feed/atom_v1_0_msgs.xml
