The best RSS News Reader?
Hi there!!!
I wanted to know which are some of the best RSS news readers according to you. I tried finding some, but just too many of them around and I don't want test them all. Can you enlighten me with what you feel is the best?
My requirements are pretty straight forward. It should be...
1) Free,
2) Lightweight, and
3) As many features as possible... (ok I admit, this one is vague, but u know what I mean ;o)
Now, as you can see... I am asking too much, but yes why not, it is always available... and with you guys around, I am pretty sure I will find my *best one* soon :o)
Thanks in advance!

I've only ever used one: http://www.sharpreader.com/
It does what I need and I like it alot, but I've never compared it to anything else. - Anonymous

I like NewsGator in Outlook.
FeedDemon as a Windows app (RSS Bandit is pretty good too, so is Sharp Reader).
Bloglines or Newsgator as a Web-based service.
NetNewsWire on the Mac.
Live.com as a Web portal. - Anonymous

Try www.feedisgood.com. Free for up to 75 feeds. - Anonymous

I have also tried out different Feedreaders and came to the conclusion that the JetBrains Omea Reader is one of the best free readers available. Definitely worth checking out!

I've only used two. I started with SharpReader which was fine for a while, but then I tried FeedDemon 1.5 and that was much much better - it felt like version 5 of a product compared with SharpReader's version 1. Of course SharpReader is free whereas FeedDemon isn't. I upgraded to FeedDemon 2.0 (free upgrade - hoorah!) last week and now feel like I'm on version 6. I see no reason to change at the moment. - Anonymous

I've used NewsGator in the past, which was okay until they got bought out, and currently use RSS Bandit - however I still find it doesnt meet my needs. An aggregator should aggregate danmit! By time! Not by feed. I dont care where my news comes from. I DO want to make sure I read the oldest stuff and get it out of the way though. - Anonymous

I agrre with Gabriel Lozano-Morán: Omea Reader seems to be the best.
RSS Bandit is fine but use a lot of memory.... - Anonymous

I have been using GreatNews ... I added all the MSDN and ASP.NET blogs to it... to really throw it through the tester. It seems to work very well. Has nice tabbed browing support within the product, label and highlight support, a nice 'TODAY' feature that shows you just the news from today, which is kinda nice. hope this helps.

RSSBandit - Open source, .Net, actively being developed.
Certainly good enough... - Anonymous
