Re: RSS News Reader w/ Home Plugin - What Do You Recommend

Insight has very a limited feature set...you can't even email links to the article! Great presentation but I found it severely lacking.

I did make a NewsGator account and attempted to connect to it but somewhere down the road after doing so it would crash. I'll try again, though...Egress just isn't cutting it for me with its horrible caching problems.

edit: well, I tried again and it crashed only once before synching up properly. I'm a little bit dismayed since the program insists upon opening up a network connection when I browse my feeds...gotta see if there's a way to have it do everything when the channels are synched, as opposed to when I open up an article.

edit 2: wow, I'm definitely not a fan. I have about 10 feeds and upon opening any of them it takes between 5 and 25 seconds to open up the channel, depending on how many articles there are (a range of 30-200). I'm not finding any way to limit the number of feeds to, say, 20 to make this load delay more tolerable. The app just feels horribly unresponsive in general Oh well, thanks for the suggestion, the search goes on...
