    I guess this is the right forum? :smile:
    Anyways I'm looking into some RSS programs out there, and was wondering what RSS Readers do you people use to retrieve your feeds.

    Right now I'm using Google Reader at Google.ca as web based reader, and I am experimenting with Netvibes.com, although I have looked into doubling my Mozilla Thunderbird into another RSS reader. I also have a Windows Media Centre RSS Plugin. As well, I have select Live Bookmarks within Firefox.

    So how do you get your RSS feeds? (And if you don't use RSS why not?)

    i used to use InfoRSS for Firefox which was great. it would just scroll the headlines in the status bar and clicking on them would take you to the site. one of the later versions of firefox was causing some issues with it though.

    i haven't found anything else that i like enough to stick with since.

    i prefer something that is lightweight and just ticks headlines accross and depends on my default browser for actually reading the articles.

    I use IE 7's built in RSS feeds center and RSS feeds gadget to the Vista sidebar. Have to admit, RSS has allowed me to stay up to date with the current affairs.

    I like NewsFox for Firefox. It works well and has a style I like (I couldn't get used to Sage)
