so far i have managed to ignore even looking into what rss is.  i have now begun to look into it and it seems SO awesome!  couple of quick questions:

what are the top news readers programs?

are they free?  is there one worth paying for?

can you reply to messages from the newsreader itself without coming to individual sites?

Thanks in advance,

There’s tons of RSS aggregators out there. I think FeedReader is a good free one. My favorites aren’t free though.

FeedDemon is a good one but I prefer Newsgator which integrates into Outlook. I [http://www.siliconpopculture.com/sonytr/viewtopic.php?t=558&highlight=newsgator]posted[/url] about this a while back with a picture.

thanks gr00vy!  if your using these readers to read posts can you use the reader to respond to posts from the reader?

thanks
