The end of the quest for the perfect RSS reader
April 17th, 2005
RSS readers have lately been appearing all over the place, however, until recently I wasn’t able to find the perfect one. My needs are not huge. I want a reader which can synchronize feeds and read posts between several PCs, have a useful and selectable notification mechanism so I don’t miss important news, but still don’t get bothered with less important ones, display feeds in a tree without favicons, be robust and fairly fast, provide descent search functionality and saved searches, flag news items for easy follow up and review.
I have tried most of the existing Windows and web based aggregators, and each one had some of these missing. I recently checked the new version of RSS Bandit and my quest for the perfect RSS reader seems to have come to an end. RSS Bandit features all I need and provides even more nice goodies like integrated Feedster and Google searches.
If you are not completely satisfied with your reader, give RSS Bandit a spin. You won’t regret it.

i embarked on a similar quest a couple of months ago. I settled on the plug in for outlook called RSSpopper(http://rsspopper.blogspot.com/2004/10/home.html)
Now I can read the feeds and look like i’m working!

SharpReader won’t allow you to synch over different machines, but if you don’t need that it’s a great aggregator. Oh, and it’s written in C#, which is pretty nifty.

I used SharpReader for a month or so, it is quite good, but apart from not offering synchronization I faced performance and stability problems when loaded with large numbers of feeds. It doesn’t support saved searches or a container for flagged messages, which are things I really need. However, its built-in search is very fast and user friendly, I really enjoyed it.
