RSS, not Rodents of Unusual Size
RSS can be a really cool technology. I love having up to the minute data flood in, washing over me like a briny wave of cold saltwater that chaffed my crotch and I had to take a shower. The bad part is that I haven’t really loved any of the available readers out there.
Don’y get me wrong, I think Sage is a great extension and it looks really slick, but I don’t like the fact that I lose screen real estate. It’s nothing against Sage, I just dislike all sidebar options.
I was talking to Josh the other day about this. He recommended NewsGator which seems to run well. I have also played around with Google Reader, which I didn’t really groove on at first, but I’m a Google whore, so I kind of like it now.
What RSS readers do you guys use? What would you like in one that none of them serve now? Web-based or extensions?
I’m in the beginnings of learning Ruby, and was hesitantly planning a long term goal of putting out a project that would be mostly Ruby on Rails mixed with some AJAX to wind up with a keen web-based RSS reader. Who knows if that will ever come to fruition, but I’m definitely going to give it a shot.
