I'm sure there must be a thread on this, but I can't find it.

What RSS programs do you use/prefer?

Somkiat,
While those links are interesting, I'm not looking to write an rss tool. I'm just trying to pick a good one. I did see the pcworld article, but sometimes it useful to see what real people use.

I'm a real people.

I've used bloglet.com mostly because it sends an email of my subscriptions so I don't have to go do anything to get the news. (Decided against a local client because I work at more than one computer.)

Bloglet hasn't been consistent, though (site goes down occasionally, it seems), so I've just switched to bloglines.com. So far I like it - nice, simple look and lets you categorize feeds in folders.

I still have to go there, but I'm getting over that, lazy as I am. :roll: I really like being able to just check the categories I want to (or have time for), and access it from any computer.

I'm using BlogLines.com. It's a web-based RSS aggregator and also provides a nice "notifier" as a Mozilla FireFox extension.

Pauline, Lasse:
Thanks for the recommendations. That was much better than figuring out what was the best of 19 reviews.

I like FeedDemon. Very simple and clean. Developed by Nick Bradbury, creator of HomeSite and TopStyle. Get it at Bradbury Software.
