While reading the What Newsreader Do You Use? article on therssweblog (which I highly recommend you read), I came across some good tips and several new toys to try out.
Day-to-day I find myself using Bloglines the most. Since its a web-based tool, I can get to my news from anywhere, which I find useful. However–I am in Outlook all day so of course Newsgator looked really cool. I tried out the trial and did like it, but couldn’t bring myself to pay the $29 for it since I do use two different computers often and you can’t beat Bloglines for that. But I had known about these tools already. The best new thing found in the aforementioned article was intraVnews. intraVnews, like Newsgator, integrates well into Outlook. Unlike Newsgator however, it’s free. Now, I know that Newsgator is going for the whole service package thing and for the money, I think you do get a lot of added value. intraVnews has about the same core set of features, and I like the options and add subscription dialogs a bit better. It definitely passes the One Day Rule.
