Alright, so now that we've gone through the comprehensive list of browsers more than a few times, it's time to move onto RSS!
Post your suggestions! I'll add a poll up at the top later if there's interest and enough suggestions.
I'll start with these : anyone have anything to say about them?
Vienna: freeware
Newsfire: nagware/$25 full version
Ensemble2: freeware
NetNewsWire: $30
Let's say for the sake of argument, since I know many of you actually prefer web-based readers like Google Reader, that we are not considering Google Reader, Reader Notifier or NewsGator Online as options. Let's also leave browser-based readers out of the list since just about every browser has some form of RSS capability.
For categories, let's keep it plain and simple, weighted in order of preference from top to bottom:
Overal Speed
RAM usage
CPU usage
Interface arrangement
Feed management and organization capabilities
Downloads and podcasts
Bittorrent feeds
Synch capability (both web-based and mobile-based)
Page rendering

Well I am not a fan of rss, I've tried google reader before but it's bleh. I will try rss with mail 3, see how it goes. Would that fall into your categories?? I havent really tried it yet so yeah...

I'm really just looking for opinions about the various different RSS readers while I'm trying them out.
I'm a bit curious to see how Mail 3 will turn out. It certainly has the 3-pane interface for a typical RSS reader, but I haven't really liked the integrated e-mail/rss clients (such as thunderbird, outlook, etc.), so we'll see.
Browser Wars upgrade - RSS!
