The Monkey Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm looking for a very easy to use, and easy to read RSS Reader. Integration with Firefox would be good but not essential. Is there an industry leader here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPH Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Have you tried Google Reader? It web-based, but it's fast and works very well unless you have special needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dinny definitely has special needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanY Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm looking for a very easy to use, and easy to read RSS Reader. Integration with Firefox would be good but not essential. Is there an industry leader here? The industry leader is Google Reader. If you're on a Mac, NetNewsWire is good, but in my experience desktop RSS readers are not worth the trouble. You either have to leave them on continuously or you miss stuff, or you have to sync with a server somewhere, and sync always starts to break down after a while. Google Reader has the advantage of always running somewhere on a server in the Googleplex, so it never misses anything, and there are no sync hassles. Plus NNW slows down if you keep a lot of items (it has an archive function to help out, but that's pretty cheesy) and search is hit and miss. Search in Google Reader is pretty good.
