Jason's Favorite Windows apps: FeedDemon

FeedDemon has been the best RSS news reading application on the Windows platform for a long time. The folks at NewsGator certainly thought so, and instead of building their own standalone news aggregator for Windows, they bought FeedDemon. The best news is that though FeedDemon was at one time a commercial product (and worth every penny), it's now available for free.

But now that it is a client for NewsGator's web application, it has gained another whole level of usefulness. FeedDemon synchronizes with your NewsGator account giving you the ability to keep your feeds in sync between it, your NewsGator web account, and any other clients you choose to use from NewsGator, including ones for most mobile phones, and even Macs.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies.

NetNewsWire is far better on the Mac. I tried FeedDemon because of it. It's ok. NetNewsWire just works beautifully with the keyboard commands in OS X. I don't need to touch the mouse to navigate and read my feeds.

Yes, FeedDemon is really the best feed reader for Windows OS.
I can't help, but I just hate Google's online feed reader. No way to delete things and all this stuff... and it's just having some ugly interface.
