Reader This!
28 10 2006I am a big fan of news aggregate software or readers for those of us who only speak shorthand. I have used many different ones and have yet to find the one for me. Sage has been good but it is only on computers that have it installed. I moved to Newshutch not long ago because I can access it from any computer and don’t have to input my list for each computer. There were some issues with some pages and I was getting a lot of repeat reads even after marking them read. So, recently I decided to try Google Reader. It isn’t any better looking than Newshutch in the way it looks. In fact, Newshutch is a little better in that you can put feeds in categories. What I realized, however, is that I have been missing posts from feeds. That is just messed up. I have missed feeds from various sites without having any knowledge of it. Just randomly missing posts! So while Google isn’t my favorite, at least it gets all the news to me.
Anyone have a good reader out there?
Edit: Nevermind, I just figured out how to make folders. Awesome!
















Hey Paul,
I just switch to the Google reader also. I was using a Firefox extension called Wizz RSS. I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox and lost my entire list of feeds.
I like the google reader because it can be incorporated with the google personalized home page. The best stand alone feedreader I have used is FeedDemon, if you are willing to pay for one $29.95. But it is tied to a computer It does have a really slick interface and the ability for lots of customization. check it out at http://www.bradsoft.com/.
