(Update: Commenters pointed out that you can in fact get a river of news view for one folder at a time in Google Reader. Contrast this with the way Bloglines or Google Reader work, where I have to view all of the items in one feed before I see all of the items in another feed. I think I like FeedDemon’s handling of images the best.Ī river of news view displays items in the order they were published, no matter what feed they were delivered in. Many of the products discussed here are good about that, but not all. Readers that only show me the title of a photo and a link to the photo itself are worthless to me as I will almost never click through to view the photos. When I’m subscribed to a photo feed, I want to be able to see the photos large format in the feed as I scan down my reader. Most video on the web is now delivered or available in Flash, so that’s how I tested these tools. The best web based reader for playing video is either Google Reader or Bloglines. See the description of audio playing above. The worst case scenario is being told to open iTunes to listen to audio it’s distracting to open a new application and that file is then put on my iPod next time I sync up. My criteria here was whether the product let me play an audio file from inside the same window that the text accompanying the file is displayed. Or skip to the paragraphs about each product. If a river of news is more important then go with FeedDemon.Ī few notes about what I was looking for and how I interpreted it. If rich media is more important to you then go with Google Reader.

If I was a Windows user and wanted to consume video inline and needed a river of news view – I would cry.

Who’s the winner? No one is a clear winner by the criteria I’ve chosen.Īs a Mac user, I’m going to spend more time with NewsFire on my desktop. The following are short descriptions of the 10 leading commercial RSS readers and a comparison of their features. In other words, I cannot find any feed reader on the market today that combines rich media support, integration with 3rd party tagging and sharing services and a “river of news” view.

Right now none of the leading RSS readers for Mac or Windows let users capture, preview, play, tag and share items within the application itself and in the order that they arrive in your aggregator. In order to effectively engage with this media, many of us are going to need RSS readers that are equipped for the task. There are currently an estimated 4.2 billion total video streams per month arround the web.

An estimated 30 million people (5% of broadband users) watch at least one video online each day. Online syndicated media is an exploding market as methods of communication go, it’s one of the fastest growing, most compelling and potentially most commercially viable new developments that has emerged in some time. It is inefficient, unpleasant and feels behind the times to have to launch another application like a browser or iTunes to play media files delivered to my feed reader. Features are honestly open to some interpretation and I may have missed some important vendors, but I think this should be useful for both readers and myself.

The following is a discussion of the problem, then a description of the criteria I used to review 10 leading RSS readers on the market, a paragraph about each product and a chart comparing features. SplashCast will play a roll in this situation, but for now I’m just looking for an RSS reader that will help me do my job efficiently at an online media company. The content available in the market is moving much faster than the tools to consume it.

This post will discuss what I’ve found in that search. Of course there is a Windows Phone 8 app in the Windows Phone Store, but it cost $1.99.I’m looking for a new RSS feed reader that offers good support for video, audio and photos.

If you’re are reading about this Windows Store app at the time of the writing, you’ll be happy to know that thanks to a partnership between our neighbor site WindowsObserver and the creators of the Nextgen Reader, the app will be free for Windows 8 users until tomorrow March 11, 2014. The one thing though is that before you can start using Nextgen Reader, you’re require to create a Feedly account, which you will use to add new RSS feeds and Nextgen Reader will use to pull your content.
