File this under "who knew?" or "**r**eally **s**tupid **s**uggestion" from someone atop Real, but apparently, [working in collaboration with Feedster](http://oren.blogs.com/praxis/2006/09/realtime%5Frss%5Fla.html?ref=chrismessina.me), they've [thrown together](http://knowyourrss.blogspot.com/2006/10/realnetworks-does-rss-reader.html?ref=chrismessina.me) a [PC-only RSS reader](http://betashow1979.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!321419558DC027B0!185.entry?ref=chrismessina.me) called [RealTime](http://realtime.com/?ref=chrismessina.me). It looks like [they want to get into MediaRSS](http://business2.blogs.com/business2blog/2006/09/does%5Fthe%5Fworld%5F.html?ref=chrismessina.me) and the like, and why they didn't start there, well, is anyone's guess.
