FeedDemon 2.8 beta shows numerous improvements

Yesterday BradSoft announced the second beta of FeedDemon 2.8, the popular desktop newsreader for Windows.
Bugfix work continues, and the user interface has been streamlined - which developer Nick Bradbury refers to as "toolbutton slaughter." The new sharing and tagging icons caused some overcrowding, but users who still want the old icons displayed can customize the settings under options -> reading.
Several tag-related features have been added. FeedDemon's subscription home page now includes a tag cloud, making it easy to access similar posts you've tagged. Tags can also be dragged and dropped onto posts, and tagged items can be exluded when purging old news items.
The addition of automated error reporting to the previous version allowed Bradbury to correct nearly 30 issues. So far, the changes have made FeedDemon faster, easier to use, and more stable than ever.
For a full list of bugfixes and changes, check the Bradsoft release notes.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Not too impressive, considering Liferea has been doing most of this stuff for a long while (http://liferea.sourceforge.net/, http://tinyurl.com/6dy9mw)
