I have tried many RSS readers, as like you, I find it best way of staying in touch efficiently on many websites. Google Reader is great for many reasons but is still a long way from efficient for me. I use RSSOwl which is a system install and not a cloud service but it can operate on most systems. It has many features for managing RSS feeds and exploring the settings and alternate layouts gives you what you can't get with other readers. I set it up with search collections of feeds on which you can set rules/filters for most parameters. You can select bulk headlines for marking read by mouse right click menu or toolbar button or have rules for automated mark read and delete.
It has feed opml import/export and supposedly Google Reader synchro. But I gave up on Google Reader as RSSOwl was all I needed. With a 2 window display I can see RSS news item headlines in one tab and the introduction (or full article) for each headline in a separate tab. This way I sit poised with headline tab active and one finger on enter key and other on delete key. If headline uninteresting I hit delete, if headline and intro of interest, I hit enter and then delete to open the item in RSS browser or as new tabs in the background of an external browser. Opening in external browser is better as then have access to all your added browser tools for collecting and searching article information. This way, I follow hundreds of feeds and can process them very quickly and with reasonable confidence I am not missing anything of interest to me. Please note, RSSOwl keeps a large database if you have hundreds of feeds, so. occasionally it gets a hiccup of data corruption but it automatically keeps backups and the website has a simple guide to just rename the current db file and rename a backup to be the current one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
