Web Forum Reader: Desktop app for reading... well you know

You'll need to take a few minutes to set up each forum you want to follow, since Web Forum Reader doesn't necessarily know how each page is laid out. But the setup process is relatively painless. You just have to click a couple of links on a forum page and tell the program if it's doing a good job of recognizing the page elements.

The application will set you back $30, but there's a 40 day free trial if you just want to check it out.

(So much for progress.) But while this isn't quite that slickly integrated, I think it's a step in the right direction. Too bad there's not a sort of forum-specific extended RSS so we could get more rich client features.

It's about time someone wrote an app to remove all the cr^H^H noise from web forms.
Looks like this would make most of them readable -- if it works.
