RSS feedreaders : CNet reviews

If you’re deciding on which feed reader to use, CNet’s done a review of leading RSS feed readers.

I also like the way they describe RSS feed readers – get your own headlines to your desktop without the fluff–no matter how you define fluff.

An RSS newsreader lets you hunt for publications, wire services, blogs, podcasts, and video sites you like, and then subscribe to related content.

Along with mainstream news from daily papers and entertainment magazines, RSS lets you find feeds on almost any topic. If that alien-abduction dream felt uncanny, you might gravitate toward UFO news. A Bulls fan could score the latest scoop on the team. The newly engaged could subscribe to wedding blogs by other couples. Bloglines and Rojo track their users’ best-loved feeds and encourage social networking.

Here’s their grid, with FeedDemon, owned by NewsGator, coming out on top. Note they did not include NetNewswire, a wonderful reader for macs and also owned by NewsGator.
