Today there’s a story on ReadWriteWeb about a new look and feel of the Bloglines beta site introduced by the company along with finally making its web-based feed reader ad-supported. True, may of us have already decided that Bloglines has no chances to survive in the competition with Google Reader, the most prominent feed reader as we tend to believe.
To tell you the truth, it was rather a surprise to me to find out that according to Hitwise Bloglines still [...]

It was only yesterday that we discussed Mozilla’s idea to crowdsource definition of the future of the web, internet browser in particular, by calling for concepts of what internet users want the perfect browser of the future to be. Now it seems that Mozilla already has some plans of their own - and these plans seem to include Firefox domination in every possible field.
Mozilla has announced plans to develop Snowl, a Firefox extension that is intended to combine all your [...]

I hate your partial feed.
Yes, I've heard all the arguments for partial feeds: they prevent splogging; they ensure people visit the site and generate the precious ad revenue; they keep feed readers from stealing eyeballs.
Sploggers, however, scrape sites any which way they can. A full feed may make it a little easier, but a partial feed won't prevent it. I have one hilarious splog in my bookmarks that scrapes the content, translates it to another language, then translates it back [...]

A while back a little RSS feed tool was released called Snackr. The basic idea behind Snackr is that it takes your RSS feeds and scrolls them across your desktop, so you get a constant stream of updated news and can pick whatever looks most interesting as it goes by. I tried Snackr for a while and had to abandon it in spite of how fun it was (with the number of news feeds for the amount and variety of [...]

In a surprising change of plans, RSS company NewsGator has today announced that all of its highly-acclaimed RSS reader clients will be offered free of charge to anyone who wishes to download them.
Via the official NewsGator site, web surfers will have free access to download of FeedDemon (Windows client), NetNewsWire (Mac client), mobile RSS reader NewsGator Go! (including the Blackberry edition), as well as News Gator Inbox, which allows users to manage RSS content from within Microsoft’s Outlook email client. [...]

Feedhub is being introduced at DEMOfall 07 beginning today. This next generation information tool allows users to personalize and improve popular feed readers. Feedhub will essentially cut through the mass confusion of overwhelming data to deliver relevant stories to readers. Feedhub is built on mSpoke's patented mPower Adaptive Personalization Engine which enables Feedhub to learn from human insights. DEMOfall's producer Chris Shipley specifically selected Feedhub for debut at DEMOfall 07, so expectations are high for this new intuitive tool.
Feedhub [...]

Profy is building something exciting for the tech-savvy crowd. The Profy development team is at work on a very large-scale Web 2.0 project to be launched in public beta later this year. It's an advanced blogging platform with an integrated powerful RSS reader enhanced by social featured. The application will drastically change the way we blog and read our news.
At the moment, the product is in strictly private beta and we're looking for a strong team of early testers [...]

When I was taking Peepel for a drive, CEO Stephen Kelly was kind enough to give me an invite to the private beta of Particls (called Touchstone) at the time, an application that was promising to revolutionize the way you read news feeds. I'll be honest; I was a bit skeptical. I've downloaded and subsequently removed more apps in the past year than my hard drive likes to think about. I've been using Particls now for a little over a [...]

If I write an article about "my" RSS aggregator, then in fairness I should write about a new one. Oddly enough a new one was just released called Fresh Reader, a productivity booster from sidefeed.  
Fresh Reader is a Web based, server type RSS feed reader that runs exceptionally fast. Fresh Reader is designed for either personal or corporate use, and allows for social bookmarking, mobile support, Intranet use and many other features.
The server based downloaded version allows the users [...]
