Newsworthy Newsreader
Tris Hussey, a fellow Canadian, web consultant and avid blogger is also the first non-founding staffer hired by Jeremy Wright's new company "InsideBlogging.com". Tris is also an avid Firefox user and also uses Sage (a Firefox extension) for keeping updated on the RSS feeds he subscribes to. I couldn't imagine being without it. This is how I manage my newsfeeds too. Tris is cosidering a switch...
His recent post titled Lektora: A new RSS reader and it looks like a great one certainly caught my attention. He will be trying it out to manage 290 RSS feeds he subscribes to. I would think that would be a lot of feeds to import into the program but he says:
Customization was easy. You create groups that can be viewed by feed or all at once, you can even delete whole groups and feeds at once. I just dragged feeds to the appropriate groups. You can select multiple feeds so it didn't take me too long.
I can't imagine trying to keep up with 290 newsfeeds and then still trying to get any work done during the day. Tris must have found a "day stretcher" under the Christmas tree for him. At any rate... it will be interesting to see updates to this story. Who knows? Maybe it will be one of the best products for 2005. Two open source products that made eWeek's list for top products of 2004 were Firefox and Plone 2.0
Have you tried Lektora? What was your experience?

Tris now reports to having 320 RSS feeds to sort through and feels Lektora showing only feeds with new content is a feature, but having far less feeds to sort through then Tris, I don't see this as a feature but more of a bug. [Read More]
