Best RSS Feed Reader

My wife is a writer, and a pretty good one for that matter. Recently she went for a job interview, where she was asked a lot of questions about current affairs, and she doesn't exactly read the news regularly. So I told her she should. But she doesn't like reading the news paper, and I told her about online news. About RSS Feeds and Feed Readers.

So which feed reader do you use. Of course every developer uses one. So what else does a developer use? Internet Explorer and Microsoft Outlook. Post Internet Explorer 7, you can subscribe to RSS Feeds using IE. you can read the posts online on IE. But the beautiful thing is every time you subscribe to a feed on IE, it nicely goes and adds itself on the RSS Feeds folder in Microsoft Outlook. This gives you the offline reading facility of course it also depends on what you are subscribing to. Some of the stuff is just not available offline. Like MSDN Magazine, which just has a one liner and a link to the actual article.

Speaking of which, MSDN Magazine is available online since January 2008. The MSDN Magazine is a fantastic read and is on top of my reading list every month. Some of the articles are just too good. Like for instance, this month my favorites are: The editor's note (which is always a pleasure to read), Thread Management in the CLR, Design for testability, Static Analysis tools for .Net.

Other favorites on my feed reader are:

  1. Ann-Dee's Tic-Tacs (My wife's weblog)
  2. Coding Horror
  3. Stack Overflow
  4. Threads watched by Channel 9 Team
  5. Business Week Online - Tech Beat
