Aggregator

Robert **strongly** suggest that I use an aggregator to read only the posts I want.

The problem is that I like using a browser because I can find one in any computer I use (thankfully I don't have to work only on Windows;-))

I don't have to install any software and I am perfectly happy with this solution.

Anyway I tried few aggregators to use on one machine, but I still can't make my mind on a good one.

Anybody knows about some review or some kind of tests (like SharpReader, RSS Bandit, NewsGator)

  • Get yourself a copy of FeedDemon, a superior aggregator.

  • Have to agree, FeedDemon is the best (though it doesn't have CommentAPI stuff yet). Sharpreader - used to be good, tried on my machine last night - used .5gig ram and froze the machine - consistently! RSSBandit, almost there, but not very tolerant of dodgy feeds (unlike FeedDemon). You can try out FeedDemon I believe, after that if costs $29.95 - but have to say, it's worth it!

  • Thanks Scott Paul and Paul. Well the online aggregator is a tempting idea but I will give also a ty with FeedDemon. I don't like too much RSSBandit, and Newsgator is not too bad but not enough.

    I wish Longhorn will help having our feeds easily but I am still convinced that online blogging with a good ol'browser will still be there in 2050 !

  • Bloglines, bloglines, bloglines!!!



    But, I heard Dare and Luke are working on SIAM - a way to sync your subscriptions across machines (and aggregators). If Bloglines supported that, even better!

  • +1 Bloglines.

    I had the same problem as you. Any tool hard to sync between multiple machines.



    Incidentally this is the same reason I don't buy into this "smart clients will change the world" BS - because it's not practical for my use case.

  • Keep seeing Bloglines in my logs...not checked it out yet...may give it a try (though I do like the 'silent' updating of desktop clients)

  • hmmmm, in defense of SharpReader. I've seen the it's memory usage go DOWN in subsequent versions. I only have 40-50 feeds though. But it's written in .NET so you have all that overhead.
