The links in the Newsfeed section are special webpages that may require a separate program to view. These pages are actually RSS and Atom files that provide news updates from a website in a simple form for your computer.

Anyone using the Mozilla Firefox web browser has support for feeds built-in, and Microsoft Windows users have support for feeds in Internet Explorer 7. Apple Macintosh users can also use the built-in support for feeds in the Safari and iCab web browsers.

Since you're asking, however, I guess you aren't using one of the browsers listed above. 

If you don't have a browser that can open the files directly, you will need a program called an aggregator and you will need to start it and copy the newsfeeds address into the aggregator. But what aggregator to use? Below are some suggestions, there are many others. Google is your friend ;)

Mac OS X: NetNewsWire

This elegant Mac-like aggregator is easy to use and powerful.

Windows: SharpReader

Simple, but gets the job done.

Linux: Straw

The best aggregator for GNOME.
