Hello,
my dear reader. I have been trying to find smth really pleasant 4 you
to read here for several days. And I found out that there's not much
info at all concerning this topic=) Bad news 4 me ang good 4 you - less
to read=) But still, who knows when and where you'll be asked about RSS.
So this blog will be a saviour in this case I hope.
So
you are already familiar to WHAT RSS feed readers are and WHY one uses
them. The general truth is that there's a huge amount of all this stuff
on the Internet. So this product seems to have a lot of variations if I
may say so. Many of the best news aggregators for Windows are available
for free.Good news, guys=) You may observe them listed here:
OMEA READER
This is what creators write:
'Free and easy to use RSS reader, NNTP news reader, and web bookmark manager. It's fast, it aggregates, and it keeps you organized'.
I
haven't tried it cause I like Google Reader. Besides, I am an awful
conservative and hate any changes. So if one uses it don't be afraid to
leave a comment here.
Pros
- Omea Reader integrates RSS feeds, Usenet news and web sites
- Clever tools like search folders, flagging, and annotations help you stay organized in Omea Reader
- Omea Reader finds items fast
Cons
- Omea Reader does not offer learning filters or categories
- You cannot synchronize multiple Omea Reader installations, poor integration with net-based services
- Omea Reader cannot read email and instant messaging conversations
AWASU PERSONAL EDITION
'It is an extremely feature-rich RSS feed reader. The option to enhance it
with plug-ins and hooks in particular makes Awasu a powerful aggregator,
in spite of some limitations' - say wise people from about.com site. Who knows, perhaps they're right.
Pros
- Awasu has great news notifications and flexible display options
- Plugins and hooks allow you to enhance and customize Awasu
- Lets you organize feeds in categories
Cons
- Awasu lack saved searches and virtual folders
- Doesn't thread items or put news in context
- Awasu Personal Edition limits the number of feeds, plugins, etc.
GOOGLE READER
It's
very usable ( cause I use it=), simple, convenient and ... and... well,
there are a lot of its pro's=) The one I like - it demands a Google
account each of us has!
Pros
- Google Reader provides a slick, universally accessible and uncomplicated way to read RSS news feeds
- Sensible keyboard shortcuts make navigating Google Reader a snap
- Lets you label feeds and items freely and for comprehensive grouping and organization
Cons
- Google Reader cannot label items automatically based on past choices
- You cannot annotate items
- Google Reader not identify related posts and news to put items in context
RSS BANDIT
Its flexibility, virtual folders and synchronization abilities are
great, but it would be even greater if it integrated with other online
RSS news feed readers in addition to NewsGator Online.
Pros
- RSS Bandit can be synchronized across multiple installations
- Feeds can be organized in folders and RSS Bandit threads posts
- RSS Bandit lets you save searches as virtual folders
Cons
- RSS Bandit cannot synchronize with online RSS news feed readers
- Searching could be faster in RSS Bandit, and it contains no trainable filters
SQUEET
How
does it work? It actually delivers news items from RSS and Atom feeds
to your email Inbox. Unfortunately, Squeet emails themselves are not all
that appealing and,
worse, hard-coded to take up too much horizontal screen estate.
Pros
- Squeet sends RSS feeds as emails, integrating them well and automatically with other incoming items
- Subscriptions are comfortably edited using a web interface
- Squeet lets you pick a delivery schedule (items arrive as a digest) or sends news as it happens
Cons
- Squeet does not allow you to collect, read and edit feeds in groups
- More flexible digests (twice a day, per 10 items from any feed,...) would be nice
- Squeet news emails could be more visually appealing
INTRAVNEWS
about.com claims that it makes Outlook read RSS feeds naturally, allowing for smart grouping,
searching, filtering and archiving of news items and blog posts.
Pros
- Lets you use Outlook grouping, archiving, filtering and search features
- intraVnews integrates RSS feeds into Outlook well, support blog posting too
- A searchable feed database makes subscribing easy in intraVnews
Cons
- Some tasks could be more straight forward in intraVnews
- intraVnews doesn't integrate news search engines
- No tool to keep multiple intraVnews installations in sync
SHARPREADER
Pros
- SharpReader threads articles and puts news in context
- Integrating Feedster searches in a smart way, SharpReader makes you see more
- SharpReader lets you organize feeds in folders
Cons
- SharpReader does not support virtual folders
- Lacking advanced or statistics-based filters, SharpReader does not auto-organize news
- News items cannot be flagged or labeled in SharpReader
MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD
Pros
- Views, tags, filters, fast search and smart folders help you manage mail in Mozilla Thunderbird
- Mozilla Thunderbird gets rid of junk mail precisely using Bayesian filtering and detects scams, too
- Mozilla Thunderbird lets you reads RSS feeds like streams of email with filters, search and labeling
Cons
- Mozilla Thunderbird does not show related messages, sites, documents, posts, etc.
- The Mozilla Thunderbird RSS feed reader could be integrated better and offer more power
- Mozilla Thunderbird could be more helpful by suggesting tags or reply text, for example
BLOGEXPRESS
Pros
- BlogExpress pleases the eye
- Easy to use and very functional, BlogExpress allows for effective news consumption
Cons
- BlogExpress can't break out individual news items
- Search and virtual folders are missing from BlogExpress
- BlogExpress offers only one update schedule for all feeds
That's it for today! Thanks for your attention=)
P.S.: I am really thankful to one site I used to fill this post by all this stuff. Thanks a lot!
