I used several desktop RSS Readers and am not totally satisfied for the following reasons.
- I want to share my feed subscriptions and the items I marked as read between a desktop machine at a client site, and my laptop. There seem to be some ways to do this using an FTP server, but I am not sure my client’s firewall will allow the traffic.
- RssBandit, SharpReader, and RSSPopper all seem to store data in the user profile without making it easy (or, in some cases, not at all possible) to change where data is stored. At a client site, there is a cap on the allowed profile size, and the RSS Readers were consuming all of the profile space for my account. I do subscribe to a lot of feeds, but I like information.
My solution is to now find a web version of a reader. I decided that I don’t need to get notified on the hour when a new article has been published. Checking feeds once or twice a day should be sufficient.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a website where I can create an account and import my OPML file? It would be cool for my google account allow me to subscribe to feeds, and, ah, index them, so I can search them. J
