    Atom Feed Reader

    A simple challenge for you all: find me a feed reader that can read Atom 1.0 feeds properly. I've tried Straw, Liferea and aKregator (which seem to be virtually identical), and only Liferea would even read the feed. Even then, it wouldn't do it completely e.g. not displaying dates properly (it seems to think everything was made in 1970). I tried Sage (a Firefox extension), and it wouldn't use the subtitle or the dates, even though it used the equivalents in RSS.

    Anybody know of a feed reader that can actually use Atom properly?

    Thanks

    Mike

    P.S. If you don't know what Atom is, it's an alternative to RSS. If you don't know what RSS is... Google it!

    P.P.S. If you want an example feed, there's one on XML.com.

    Nope. I just want to find a feed reader that reads Atom 1.0 properly. That's it.

    Have you tried SharpReader? http://www.sharpreader.net/
