Download Squad readers totally rock! To everyone, thanks for all the feedback on our
RSS Readers: SOUND OFF! post. There are so many options to choose from, and I haven't had a chance to really go through them all, so I will be posting my thoughts on the top RSS readers in the next week or two. DLSQ's reader-cloud is much wiser than I am. Several of the readers you mentioned I had never heard of. Thanks to everyone. I have a new favorite out of all the RSS readers I glanced at over the weekend. Drumroll and spotlights please...
GreatNews is the winner! Not only was GreatNews the most recommended at last count (tied with Sage) but it is simple and powerful. I love it. I really like the newpaper layout and easy to use features. My favorite part about it was the ability to enter a web address, and GreatNews will pull any feeds from the page and list them at the bottom via an RSS icon. A simple click or two and you've subscribed. It is a piece of cake. Here are your top results:
- GreatNews - 8 votes
- Sage (firefox plugin - 8 votes
- FeedDemon - 6 votes
- Flock - 6 votes
- Google Reader - 6 votes
- Bloglines - 5 votes
- Netvibes - 5 votes
- Omea - 4 votes
