Cool RSS Readers for Windows

FR VS FD

I've recently come to accept the fact that I need an RSS Reader for Windows. I use NetNewsWire for the Mac and it's one of the best things since sliced bread. For Windows, I'm currently evaluating FeedReader and FeedDemon. FeedDemon is written by Nick Bradbury, the creator of TopStyle and HomeSite - my two favorite Windows apps. I tell you what - if Nick would create OS X versions of these TopStyle and HomeSite - I'd buy a G5 and get rid of Windows. I doubt that'll ever happen though. FeedReader is great with the tray icon and update notifications. FeedDemon has a "synchronize with OPML" that looks awesome, unfortunately, it doesn't work with my blogroll.

My favorite features of an RSS Reader? I've listed them below and if my readers support them. NNW = NetNewsWire, FD = FeedDemon, FR = FeedReader.

  • Drag-n-drop URLs from a browser window to the reader (NNW)
  • Ability to import my Blogroll from Blogroll.com (none)
  • Weblog posting/editing (NNW)
  • Retrieval of full post rather than description (NNW, FD)

If you can think of more cool reader features - let me know! There might be some I don't even know about.

Hi there. You really need to take a look @ Beggregator. Beggregator is written by Eugene Belyaev, President and CTO of JetBrains (makers of IntelliJ IDEA). I love the GUI and it's simplicity. Check it out. I've switched from FeedReader to Beggregator and haven't looked back. http://www.eugenebelyaev.com/beggregator Cheers --Vinny

I have recently switched to an online aggregator: www.bloglines.com It doesn't let you drag-n-drop URLs but it does have a "bookmarklet" to let you subscribe easily to a feed while viewing the web page. Also, it does import OPML. They are upgrading functionality and have recently added search.

Dreamweaver on OS X is a good replacement for Homesite. You can use Western Civs CSS Master on OS X now which is almost as good as TopStyle. Just trying to rid you of the Windose habit (although I still use Windows frequently myself).
