I personally prefer Onfolio although i sucks that it is only for IE. The key to Onfolio is the online/offline ablity to read your feeds as well as the ablility to one-click save a feed article to your harddrive to reference later. For me the prefect RSS reader will have the AI to eliminate dupe feed articles. That is key especially if you follow a bunch of feed like i do.

I use Netvibes because I like the interface, but it's buggy and drowns my Firefox to death with memory leaks.

I really believe that for people serious about getting the most out of the web, a destop reader (mac nnw) is the best option, though I don't know yet what the best mobile solution is.rss is a world changer though, i firmly believe that

First off, I only subscribe to feeds that are either full-text, or include a substantial excerpt from the post/article.Second, I use a reader that displays multiple entries from a feed (or even multiple feeds) in a single page. This is something that readers based on some variant of the e-mail interface don't really give you.This lets me skim through things extremely quickly. I can go through hundreds of new items from dozens of sites in 5-10 minutes or so, gleaning information along the way, and setting aside a dozen or so items I might want to read in more depth later. I really don't see how tabbed browsing can work the same way.That's just the basics. There is a lot of potential with RSS that hasn't been tapped yet.

At work i always use netvibes (<a class="user" href="http://www.netvibes.com)">http://www.netvibes.com)</a> as my web rss reader. It's simple, with tabs and works pretty well. But I'm always sold for new things, so i have to try the ones listed here...

If you only follow a few web sites regularly, you probably don't find a need for a feed aggregator.If you follow 50 or more, that's another story... :) Get plugged in, read more feeds!

I'm one of the incredibly few who fail to see why rss is even remotely desirable to both use and implement in a website. How hard is it to just go to a damn web page?
