bloglines for king!

You just can't beat web-services, their usefulness knows no bounds

Well the reason why I was looking for Desktop readers was because I didn't want to have to jump on the net to check on feeds. FeedDemon was nice because it downloaded all the stuff, had an "Outlook-like" pop-up summarizing new feeds, etc.

Only downside was if I downloaded new material on the machine I was at, I wasn't able to read it somewhere else until the next day

Just felt like I was always behind/missing stuff, I didn't like that.

Is there an easier way to delete subscriptions? Clicking -edit- and then having to drag feeds up or down to the trash seems a bit klunky for Bloglines.

click on the subscription, then unsub in the right panel at the top...

Back to bloglines here as well...too much of a pain in the ass to click "mark as read" after reading a feed.

I am back with Newsfox extension for firefox, still having loading problems with it once in awhile, but it is still my favourite one so far.

Wow, can't believe I never noticed that before :dead:

Thanks man

You can also double click a subscription when in edit mode, and a window will pop-up giving the option to unsubscribe

Seriously, now that I know how to do that stuff - this seriously is the best option out there hands down.

That was always something that bugged me, because I'd have to drag down a little, let it move in the list, and repeat until I was low enough on the screen to drag to the trash.

Drove me freaking nuts !

IE7 to read and manage feeds

 

[SPeedY_B]

IE7 manages feeds nicely, the only problem with it for me is that I frequently hop between the two macs and one XP machine in the house, therefore my IE7 (Or even Safari) feeds, aren't available on all machines.

Hence why Bloglines is so handy

Yeah, which is the downside to the same thing for Firefox.

I really want to see a desktop client that works well in regards to syncrhonization, would be nice

live.com

Meh.

live.com is like a fish trying to ride a bike (through the Sahara) compared to bloglines.
