Feed readers
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...

With NewsGator, actually you can structure the feeds any way you like. Just create a folder hierarchy in Outlook (underneath your base news folder), and drag the folders anywhere you like. As long as they have unique names, NewsGator will find them.

Thanks for your advice. Nice to know that NewsGator support such a "hidden" feature. But: how it identifies the feeds? I hope the unique name is not related to the funny feed captions...

The folder names are by default the feed title, but you can override that and specify any folder name you like. Does that answer your question?

Not really. But the important part is that I can rename the folders without loosing the connection to the related feed. Thanks Greg.
