I’m working on a project involving RSS feeds, and I am interested to know what people are using to read them. Looking at the statistics for Feedburner, it is clear that the majority of RSS Feeds are being read in My Yahoo, Google Reader or Bloglines, but I would like to find out what else is being used, particularly in terms of offline readers. So if you are a user of RSS feeds, please let me know in the comments what tools you are using.

    I use Liferea as an offline RSS reader. In the past I’ve used Google Reader but I wanted to be able to feed in authenticated blogs (such as LiveJournal, which I do with some twisted Perl) which just isn’t an option with an online service.

    I’ve been using NetNewsWire Lite on OS X for the last couple of years, great product.

    Another Liferea convert here. The ability to read your feeds on the daily commute just isn’t possible with the online systems.

    I use Mozilla extension called SAGE to read the RSS Feed. This is online.

    I use ThunderBird client to read the RSS Feed offline.

  5. Robin Wenham Says:

    I use FeedDemon, synchronised with NewsGator.

    I use LiveJournal

    I’m using Newspipe - http://newspipe.sourceforge.net

    It downloads my feeds and delivers them as email messages into a folder of my imap email account.

    This way I can keep track of feeds through any email client and has the benefit of being synchronised - once I’ve read a story on one machine, it’s marked as read on my others.
