[MLUG] RSS/RDF Feed Aggregators (Review)

["Davis, Ryan W. (UMC-STUDENT)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well, I can't remember off the top of my head but someone asked me to
relay what I found out in my search for a good news aggregator. Well, I
found a few and am currently using one that I love. Note: These are all
for Windows machines.

1. FeedReader (Win, Freeware, App) - This is probably the best one I
have found. Its slim, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing. I saw an
open source clone for Linux on freshmeat called LiFeRea (Linux Feed
Reader). Also has a web server built in so that the local machine can be
used to access your news feeds remotely through a browser.

2. BottomFeeder (Win, ?, App) - This is another nice one that I used for
a while. Its got a few more options but I find the interface confusing
and bloated. Not very good graphical design.

3. AphetaDesk (Win, ?, Java tray app) - This one is good but a different
interface than the rest. The java tray app runs a web server on your
machine in the background and you connect to it though your browser
only. I like the self-contained app myself. Didn't use it for very long
but it seems very good.

Hope that this information might help all of you.
