| Can't remember if I mentioned Mozilla Thunderbird before, but that's what I use, and I love it. And it's free too, and it also reads email and newsgroups. |

| Maybe a little bit late, but have a look at http://www.rssbandit.org/ This is now an Open Source RSS reader using the .Net framework. So you can modify it to fit your needs if you want. Latest version also supports now NNTP access.--Frank KalisMicrosoft SQL Server MVPhttp://www.insidesql.deHeute schon gebloggt? http://www.insidesql.de/blogsIch unterstütze PASS Deutschland e.V.

| The RSS Bandit seems to be slightly better tuned to RSS than Thunderbird (to me).It'll retrieve feeds in the background and the search facility is decent.Does anyone know of an organized list of available Feeds? (I spend a lot of time googling for feeds on topics I'm after. A recommended list or organized list would be helpful.)Does anyone got a good RSS feed on IT humor or any humor for that matter? |
