I use Bloglines http://www.bloglines.com and also netvibes, but I am trying out http://www.newsisfree.com as well. The web based ones are great if you need to see the same feeds without having to synch two readers.</p> No one here has mentioned any of the other web based newsreaders.

It is a decent application that installs itself as the default news reader. Clicking any RSS link in Safari will invoke NetNewsWire to capture the URL and prompt the user to accept the feed. NetNewsWire displays the feeds on the left, with a split screen for feed items (top) and feed content (bottom). Double clicking a feed item or a URL in a feed will launch the built in browser and take the user to the actual web page for that feed item.</p> I use the paid version of NetNewsWire.

It is centrainly very customizable. I like the Widescreen View (three columns) and the built in browser.</p> I have bought NewsFire but I am not happy with it: buggy

They're right there, threaded next to your email and the rest of your various accounts/folders/stuff. Have to admit, it made me a little jealous though otherwise Office 2007 beta is barely on par with Office 2004 on the Mac. Their new results-oriented "Ribbon" interface is a little weird, but actually kind of neat and useful. Your blog is cool.

I was using NNW Lite for a year, then finally tried the 30-day demo. After just a few hours I bought the app primarily because of the built-in browser. Not only is is wonderfully integrated and convenient, but it uses a later, more bug-free version of the tabbed browser code than Apple lets me use (Safari 1.0.3 if you're running Jaguar). It's not perfect -- there's no visual way to know which feeds you've told to temporarily stop refreshing, for instance -- but it's rock solid and currently handles over 560 feeds for me.
