Haven't you tired of reading news like reading your emails, listed one after another? Do you expect that you can just only read those news you want or up-to-date news form thousands of posts? Well, a Desktop RSS Feed Reader can help you. There are some popular and excellent RSS reading tools I will recommend to you. They are: FeedDemon, CITA RSS Aggregator, Blog Navigator, Thingamablog and BlogBridge. Following are the detailed introductions of them.

Looking for an easy to use Desktop RSS Feed Reader with a lot of additional functions? FeedDemon is just for you! FeedDemon is the most popular Windows RSS reader. The easy-to-use interface makes it a snap to stay informed with the latest news and information. We can completely customize the way feeds are organized and displayed and set up custom news watches based on keywords. We can even download podcasts and audio files and have them show up on our portable audio device. In addition, FeedDemon now synchronizes with NewsGator Online and the rest of the NewsGator RSS Suite. The software is pre-configured with dozens of feeds, so we can unleash the power of RSS right away.

For FeedDemon, this well-crafted, standalone newsreader makes an ideal choice for both novices who've never heard of an RSS feed and advanced users looking to put some oomph and flexibility into their reading habits. I particularly liked FeedDemon's setup wizard, which allows us to subscribe to an unlimited number of popular RSS feeds by simply checking boxes. The program also provides links to several other RSS directories. FeedDemon's interface is very good, but its default setting, which places the headline and browser panes side by side, is somewhat clumsy. This is easily remedied with the buttons that sit right at the top of each folder and each item. The utility's Watch Channels feature searches for news items containing user-specified keywords and places them in a separate group so they're easier to find. Another compelling feature is the integrated podcast manager, which will automatically send new podcasts to our music jukebox. There's a support forum where we can post questions and get answers from other users, and Newsgator has a free webware client so we can check our feeds wherever we are. I strongly recommend using FeedDemon to soothe your hunger.

CITA RSS Aggregator is a RSS feed reader, that we can use to keep track of our favorite RSS and Atom feeds. It also includes integrated weather updates for selected cities from the WeatherChannel, as well an RSS Builder to create RSS feeds. The main interface is rather plain and simple, but it comes with some decent features under the hood, that include keyword alerts, support for password login, per-channel settings, proxy support, support for RSS enclosures (Podcasts) and a tool to remove persistent adverts from RSS feeds.

Blog Navigator is a RSS reader that enables us to keep track of news, blogs and other web feed items. It supports any number of RSS feeds and can also be set to download and archive different feeds for off-line reading. The feeds are displayed in a list view or formatted newspaper style, and can be grouped by author, date and other criteria. Blog Navigator integrates with various RSS and Internet search engines which enables us to gather webfeed results based on custom search keywords.

Thingamablog is a cross-platform, blogging application and RSS feed reader. It allows us to easily publish our own weblog without the need for any HTML knowledge. Unlike most other blog tools, it does not require the use of any third party services, but publishes the blog directly to the FTP server or network location that we specify. The interface provides a neatly organized overview of our blogs and a word processor like interface to create new entries. We can chose from several professional template designs, and all we have to do is click a button and our blog will go online. In addition, the program also allows us to keep track of our favorites XML/RSS feeds with the integrated feed reader interface. It can also generate a RSS compatible version of our own blog and import entries from RSS/Atom feeds.

BlogBridge is a Java based RSS reader than finds blog items based on keyword input and category topic. We can also subscribe to any RSS feed by adding the URL to the list. The program offers an attractive and easy-to-use interface with personal star ratings, weekly status display and collapsible article headlines. It includes some unique features like the option to generate a SmartFeed based on specific keywords, which can be aggregated from our own feeds or various online resources. BlogBridge supports feed specific display settings and themes, feed collections (guides), OPML import, as well as custom feed tags, which can optionally be shared with others. The program also integrates with an optional online service that lets us access our feeds from any browser over the Internet.
