Reading blogs in Outlook
I was a big fan of NewsGator back when it first came out and I could read all my blogs in Outlook and organise them into .PST files and have search applications like X1 or Yahoo Desktop Search (built on X1 engine) could index my pst files and I could find them very easily. I could also forward a posting by just hitting reply.
Now that NewsGator has gone to a subscription model, I have been looking at alternative products. The one I have started using and seems to be pretty good (and free!) is RSS Popper. This one is very much like the old NewsGator outlook application except that RSS Popper works much better with ATOM feeds than NewsGator. Did I mention it was free?
Another application that could be promising is Attensa RSS Reader for Outlook. However, their site says that this is a free public preview. I am not sure I want to be tied to an application until I am a little more sure whether this is going to be a free product, a purchased product, or a subscription based product…
