It's been a long time coming, but it looks as though we might have our first full-fledged desktop feed reader that supports synchronization with Google Reader. The RSS Bandit blog announced over the weekend that they have released version 1.7 Alpha that is capable of downloading podcasts as well as synchronizing feeds with Google Reader.

For a little while now Google has had a wizard that will let you place RSS feeds from around the web on your very own site. How it works is you first choose from one of three different styles: vertical, vertical stacked, or horizontal. Between the three different layouts you should find one that will work well on your site.

A few months back Newsgator decided to switch up their business model and start offering their desktop feed readers at absolutely no cost. Some people were a little taken back that they would do this, and immediately began asking the question "how?" Well, they essentially want to track how you interact with your feeds.

Windows; Mac; One thing that has always amazed me is the fact that none of the desktop feed readers currently available synchronize with Google Reader. Maybe I'm wrong and I just haven't searched hard enough, but we're getting a little closer with ReadAir.

I don't know about you, but I've gotten some really tremendous deals on eBay before. The general consensus that I've found when talking with people, however, is that they normally make impulse purchases before they take the time to see if they are getting a real bargain. Today we're going to walk you through a 5 step process that can save you a lot of money in the end.

Over the last several months and up until a couple of weeks ago, I was using Google Reader as my primary feed reader (prior to that was Feed Demon and currently it's NetNewsWire). While I enjoyed the simpleness of using it to read my news, I never got into any of the socialness like sharing items with friends.

I finished a new feature for the site last weekend that I've been wanting to do for months. Several sites that I read will, on occasion, write about posts that they had put together a year or two ago (Lifehacker for example). That's a great idea because new readers will likely never see some of the older articles if it weren't for posts like that.

NewsGator has made a HUGE unexpected step today by releasing their RSS news readers for free. That includes NetNewsWire (Mac), FeedDemon (Windows), and NewsGator Go (Blackberry, Java Mobile, and Windows Mobile). That's right, they are all FREE now.

I'm sure many of you use Wikipedia on a regular basis for information, but did you know that Wikipedia also has RSS feeds available for keeping up with changes to your favorite articles? To get an RSS feed for a particular article just go to the Wikipedia page for it, and click on the History tab located along the top.

Many of you have probably heard of the Google Feedfetcher before if you're a FeedBurner publisher. It is what Google uses to go and crawl RSS feeds for people subscribed to them using Google IG, Google Reader, and any other place Google displays feeds.
