    I use Bloglines for the Scott Mills Podcasts.

    Bloglines is web-based though.

    I use Netvibes, web based again but suits me great for limited time for browsing at work.

    I quite like the way Google Reader works and have used it for a while now.

    I'd be interested in a desktop reader too though.

    Re: Best RSS reader?

    I think I want something desktop really. I don't tend to have time during the day to go through all of the bits I want to, so to have them collated on my lappy when I get home would be great, especially if with video and audio too.

    If you absolutely have to have stock quotes and local weather included on the same page as your online RSS feeds and other news, then My Yahoo is the only choice for you. The variety of sources that My Yahoo integrates is unparalleled.

    For everyone who needs the ability to read a set of RSS feeds on different machines in different settings, NewsGator beats the competition. NewsGator's early support for podcasting, and its wide product range, which scales from a single user all the way up to the needs of a multinational enterprise, gives you the widest set of options to choose from.
