Re #1: To use Thunderbird as a (second?) feed reader has one big advantage: The feed items are stored in a standard mail file while normal feed readers will purge their database. This way feed articles can be handled and archived like mails … without the extra need to mark the articles to keep them.

To keep a searchable hand archive the Thunderbird solution is pretty good but I would not recommend TB as primary feed reader if you are following many feeds.

I recommend BlogBridge to everybody

Nice summary! For desktop readers, I’ve always been a fan of RSS Bandit (I never noticed the memory usage though). I have to admit though, ever since using the new RSS feeds in IE7 I’ve never looked back

Hey, I’m a big RSS user, with 20 or so feeds that I keep an eye on regularly and there are two others options (the two I use ) that I would like to point out.

Google reader is favorite RSS reader. I have used Desktop readers before but I just don’t find them useful in a world where I’m no longer just on one machine, but moving across several during the day. It makes staying up to date wonderfully easy since it’s all online. And only it is nice that its online, it is a great reader. Its simplistic and it works very very well.

Another one I started using recently is Thunderbird to handle my feeds. It does a pretty wicked job. I enjoy it much more than any other desktop I used before Google Reader. And since I have Thunderbird running all the time as my email client I figured it would be a great way to keep stories I really enjoyed. And since my feeds have been expanding, I figured it would be nice to have a slightly more organized way to browse my feeds.

I hope you find those programs/services interesting ^_^
