What RSS reader do you use?

Re:What RSS reader do you use? by derek on Monday September 10, 2007 @09:40PM (#53093)

Google Reader changed the way I think about RSS. It's superb.

I use Google Reader too...

But why does this Google product not feature search??! I really need it in the reader, it makes no sense with no search...

I wondered the same thing, but now I see a search bar. Was I blind all along or did this just get put there recently?

Google Reader but I hate it. Ok it's better than most RSS Readers but still ... the user interface for RSS Readers is just broken http://id-o.de/2007/09/08/why-does-every-rss-application-suc...

" ... What do you guys use? ..."

Fox as well.

"... but it gets unwieldy past a number of feeds. Besides, it can be distracting to have it at the top of my browser window. ..."

Are there any 'webapps' that personalise your feeds (url, return number), summarise (title, description, link) them and give you a page to view? (update: maybe http://www.bloglines.com ?)

I'm always surprised by how few people recommend Vienna. If you're on the Mac and you're a power user, there just isn't another RSS reader that gets the shortcut keys right. It even has slight variations on how some of the navigation works, so you can pick what you like most. I use space to go through my feeds, occasionally hitting shift-space to go backwards to something I skipped over. For RSS feeds of sites like news.yc, I can glance over all the articles and hit s to mark the whole folder as read. ⌘-z undos your last action. I've got 93 feeds, which I guess isn't a whole lot compared to some nuts, but it works great for me.

The only thing it doesn't have is a way to sync between computers, but I don't need that.

Netnewswire (lite) until I realized that RSS was an even greater timesuck than this site. I still have it on my dock, but haven't been brave enough to start it up in a few months (the idea of seeing 4359683^34 unread articles when I boot it isn't a big motivator either).

I use that too. Did you have to use some hack to use it as well?

I found that there are errors when I specify the feed directly, while it works perfectly when I use some wget hackery in the command-field.

SeekSift.com (disclaimer: this is my current project) which is more than just a feed reader, since it provides filtering and (coming soon) personalized recommendations.

Feedreader on PC, only because some of my feeds require passwords, and online ones don't seem to support that too well. Used to be bloglines before that requirement.

I use NewsFire. It's pretty good and fast. It lacks of some funtionality when creating smart feeds (yep, it's got smart feeds), anyway I luv it. :)

I use Vienna. I tried using Google Reader, but it's crap. It can't handle HTTP-authenticated feeds, and you can't delete feeds en masse.

rss2email - get RSS articles by email. Put it in your crontab and let it get messages for you. Avoid annoying ads and stupid layouts by reading it in a text mail client. It's great.

Same here, with subscriptions (feeds) sorted in folders (for topics) and by Attention, a great way for feeds you end up reading/clicking a lot to bubble to the top of your reading list.
