Thanks to Jamie Lewis, who recommended it highly, I've started to use FeedDemon<\/a> by Nick Bradbury<\/a>. Probably everyone in the world knows about this product except me, but I thought I would mention it because it has made my life so much easier<\/em> (yes, my friends, and better<\/em>!).<\/p>\n

I had a wierd experience installing it – it just didn't function even though I rebooted, confessed all the bugs I had shipped in earlier lives, did some mea culpas<\/em> and everything. Maybe I should admit that I attract bugs like a light attracts moths. Anyway, the next morining FeedDemon worked like a real good demon, and has done so perfectly ever since.<\/p>\n

In my moment of failure I had written to FeedDemon technical support with my sad story. Who do you think answered but creator Nick Bradbury himself. I love that connectedness between creator and user. And surprise. He subscribes to this weblog. Nick said he had never heard of these symptoms before, so I suspect my problems have to do with some of the more “experimental” software I have installed on my machine.<\/p>\n

Feedster gives you the ability to stay on top of a lot of feeds. It collects RSS feeds (called channels) into channel groups (e.g. “Identity”). It serves up a newspaper for what's new in a channel group. Or lets you peruse the headlines in an email metaphor. And you can opt completely out of the email metaphor as Nick himself does<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Some of my friends use products that display RSS feeds within Outlook. That's a great option, but I like the fact that I can keep my email distinct from my RSS feeds. I already have more than enough to archive and organize in Outlook. <\/p>\n

I also look forward to playing with some of the new FeedDemon features like support for podcasting (present in the shipping product). I listen to podcasts by keeping a collection on my 1 gigabyte mobile phone. It looks like FeedDemon already has enough integration with Media Player that I'll be able to automatically get my podcasts onto my phone. I'll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
