What RSS reader do you use? - Page 2

I've recently begun using Bloglines and find that it's a very good solution and it's FREE. I'm a light user, and I like having the same settings at home and at work. Their server is a bit slow, but not terrible. It's certainly a lot faster than the invitation-only rojo.com, which I found too slow to be functional at all. The Bloglines interface is also pretty simple and makes it easy to clip or email entries that you're interested in.

I agree, the Royo.com server is way to slow to be useful right now.

We have just started a free public preview of a new Java based RSS reader for mobile phones and PDAs. It's called FreeNews and is available at www.freerangeinc.com.

We'd love all feedback!

I'm still trying various ones out, but for a web-based one Newsisfree.com is very good. The free version allows multiple pages, newspaper views, clipping, email notifications, and OMPL import. In addition they have some very unique news views.

Unfortunately you have to pay for the ability to use feeds not in their (huge) directory, but for that you also get OPML export, build your own feed, and some other syndication options that I don't fully understand.

I haven't forked over the $$$ yet, but they are one of the top candidates....

FeedDemon has recently been acquired by NewsGator.

Right now, it's unclear whether it will continue to be available in standalone form or whether it will be folded into a NewsGator subscription plan. While I still consider FD to be an "essential" app, this new development makes me hesitant to recommend it to new users. I definitely got my money's worth, though. (I bought it about a year ago.)

I think we (FeedDemon customers) will receive a free NewsGator 2-years subscription plan.

Here is a second mention of Hand/RSS (now Quick News) for the PalmOS platform. Seems to work fairly well, though it hijacks the four PALM buttons on one of the views....

I'm still trying out Tiger's Safari RSS...
