| RSS Reader Software Hello all, Just trying to join the year 2006 with everyone else and start using an RSS reader to keep up with the blogs I read. I found http://feeds.reddit.com and it looks decent and free... Are thre any other free alternatives you guys would recommend? Open to suggestions! Thanks! - Harvey

| The site you've mentioned is not an RSS reader application, but rather an online service for the same task. I suggest you look at NewsFire and NetNewsWire (full and light version) for starters. There are a couple of others (free as well as shareware), but I've personally found NetNewsWire (the full version) to be what I _really_ want in a newsreader, because it integrates WebKit very nicely.

| I second NetNewsWire, and it also comes with a free year of newsgator service when you buy it so you can check you feeds over the web from other machines. Excellent software.

| I really like Vienna RSS/Atom Newsreader. It's free and open source. http://www.opencommunity.co.uk/vienna2.html |

| Wow. I agree. Vienna is very clean. And it being free: Good, good, good.  (I think I just might ditch NNW for this. I actually despise the NewsGator stuff...)

| Yeah, I remember being very happy when I found Vienna. I had been using NNW Lite, but there was something about it that really irked me. Does it require clicking a button to update the feeds, instead of doing so on a schedule? (I wish Vienna's schedule were customizable, especially on a per feed basis...) I added the Feed Your Reader extension to Firefox to enable those orange RSS icons in the URL bar to feed Vienna instead of Firefox's Live Bookmarks. http://projects.koziarski.net/fyr/ The extension doesn't appear to be in addons.mozilla.org anymore. Hmmm? |
