Review of desktop readers

Following on from her Feed Reader tip-bits, Patti Biggs has reviewed three desktop readers. Feedreader, RSS Bandit and Omea went under the microscope and Patti has given RSS Bandit the thumbs up as her default reader. Omea, which is my own personal favourite, is described as “a ‘Rolls Royce’ of feed readers” but a “bit overwhelming for the beginner”. I would agree with that finding. It does take a while to find your way around Omea’s features and many people do not need them, but for me nothing else has come close to supplanting it as my favourite reader.
