RSS Readers

September 14th, 2003 · 1 Comment · Blogs

According to Ludwig, he only reads using RSS instead of browsing web sites the old fashion way, so I’m off to find the best RSS reader. Not easy to find I should say. Lots of developments since the last time I looked. Here are the sources:

  • Weblogs Compendium. A list of RSS readers, but not reviewed really.

    Here are reviews of the ones I’ve used so far:

    1. Feedreader. The top hit from Google. Haven’t tried it yet. Doesn’t seem to work with what MovableType outputs alone, so you have to know where the rdf files are.
  1. Amphetadesk. This was the original reader. It reads and spits it out in a local web server page. Main problems are that it is pretty slow because it uses a web interface and also the application itself is ugly. Has this whole notion of channels which is a little complicated.

    try newsgator. Works great with outlook. And with OWA you can see a page of your feeds anywhere. Needs some tweaking on setup tho, come see me
