Jason's Favorite Windows apps: FeedDemon

FeedDemon has been the best RSS news reading application on the Windows platform for a long time.

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.
