Looking around the last week at some available feed reader clients, I have found my personal favorite: FeedReader. Really handy tool. At first my favorite was NewsGator as I have outlook always open/running and the integration of the tool works well. But you have to invest some money (avowed: only a few $) and you cannot structure the feeds, that's important if you don't read only a handful feeds. Also looked over the NewsMonster, but it's really like it's name: a monster. At first, NS7 starts (10 sec's on my Latitude CPx H500GT ~497 Mhz), refreshing the feeds with the monster takes another 15 sec's startup of the java WebStart app and needs overall around 80 MByte RAM (20 NS7 / 60 the java app). Scott suggests another reader: NewzCrawler. Just like FeedReader, but a bit of overkill for my needs and I have to spent some $ again. Very interesting things happen on .NET: RSS Bandit, or some other tools addressing the handling of own blogs, like that Outblog (Exchange involved), or BlogX. Awaiting the moment to switch my own blog (together with the provider) to a .NET app...
