What is Your Favorite RSS Reader?

Posted by Cliff on from the following-the-feeds dept.

Cyberhwk asks: "What is your favorite RSS reader? I've been trying to find a nice RSS reader. I am most intrested in an rss reader that can be run on OS X but I'm also intrested in Linux and Windows XP as well. I'm mostly interested in freeware because I'm currently going to college and I can't afford anything at the moment. So what do you use for an RSS reader? What does it run on? Most importantly is it free?"

  1. Pulp Fiction by tweder · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I prefer Freshly Squeezed Software's Pulp Fiction.

    It's got an interface similar to Mail, and also features a built-in browser (via WebKit) so you needn't leave the application to post comments on people's blogs.

    It's not free, but you should be able to scrounge up $25 right?

    I used BlogLines and Safari, and I'm generally pleased with the results. I've tried some `dedicated' RSS feeds, but I find that I prefer the `in the browser' approach, since that's typically where I want to be reading such things...
