rss

a preview is here

todo-list

cleanup/update

Can we clean up this page? seems like most of the info is WAY out of date =(

bittorrent clients?

should we really add bittorrent clients like on this page? I give a note in the introduction!

Release history vs. general information

Should we remove one of "first public version" and "first stable version" columns and add some general information on those readers? I thought of 2 columns: Status (developed, discontinued, ?) and Type (web service, client, browser plugin, part of software XYZ, …), Licence/Cost, … 188.193.155.31 (talk) 12:12, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Client removal

client adding

following clients need to be added:

This isn't exactly up-to-date for the mac. Missing the two biggies in the app store:

Comparison of web browsers:

again wrong order in the comparison mabdul 0=* 17:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Potential candidates for inclusion:


following clients should be deleted:

  • Windows Mail (the vista version of outlook express) does not support rss feeds

Features to add to comparison

mabdul 0=* 17:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nested folders.

(The reason for raising this issue is that very few feed readers allow this, making it a genuine pain to organize feeds, short of splicing them using a web app. The only app I know of that will do this is Attensa (for Outlook and OS X), which are no longer supported in a free version. The same comment should be made on the OPML page, so I'll go repeat my observation there.) A.k.a. (talk) 23:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other Feed services

  • Feed43 (WatzNew)
  • NewsMonster
  • Syndirella

travb (talk) 10:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Feed syncers ought to be added in a separate table on this page

(The reason for adding this is the difficulty of syncing across browsers without losing the tags and folder structure built by the user in the original feed reader setup. I cannot believe that after a decade of RSS app usability, no apps out there make this easy. As far as I am concerned, this is a flaw in the RSS/Atom protocol, but I have yet to hear any intelligent discussion of it. A.k.a. (talk) 23:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

rss2email

Mention rss2email, not just in passing, please. Jidanni (talk) 04:19, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Downloadable aggregators only?

Is this article only supposed to cover aggregators that can be downloaded? To put it another way, does it specifically exclude web-based ones? I'm not familiar with some of the aggegators listed, but I'm wondering if sites like Bloglines and Google Reader have been left out for a specific reason, or just because no one got to them yet. If they are excluded, the introduction should state which kinds of aggregators are being listed. Ebow (talk) 14:23, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why are some items red and some blue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.219.236 (talk) 22:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoo, what happened?

Why did a IP create last year the same table content (rss, atom, podcast) in the general table? that doesn't make any sense! I will revert this today! mabdul 09:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Operating System Support

Given how mobile devices are becoming more omnipresent in today's society, I find it interesting that only one mobile device operating system is listed, Windows Mobile. Granted, my phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.0, but wouldn't people care about other mobile operating systems, such as Android, Symbian, the iPhone, etc.?

Rather than making separate columns for each of these, it might make more sense to rename the Windows Mobile column into Mobile Devices, and list the operating systems available for each agregattor seperately? --Fredrik Coulter (talk) 13:21, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And "Unix" is not an operating system, so the entry in that column is totally subjective (compare to the Linux and BSD columns, it's a mess!) - Remove? 108.59.1.216 (talk) 09:10, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opera Mail

According to the chart, Opera Mail supports Windows Mobile. I can't find any support for this on the Opera web site. Is it true? --Fredrik Coulter (talk) 13:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MMh, good question. I know that opera mail is inlcuded in the desktop version. The mobile version (Opera Mobile) and Opera mini do have both an integrated web feed reader. so it may be correct although the M2 isn't called so on the mobile systems... mabdul 12:34, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Netvibes Reader

Why isn't Netvibes reader in here? I believe it's better than Google Reader... It should at least be listed... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.101.40.36 (talk) 06:27, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where would you add this information (which table)? 188.193.155.31 (talk) 12:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Authentication

it'd be nice to know which readers support authenticated rss feeds. --129.255.1.147 (talk) 15:17, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Capabilities section uninformitive

The capabilities table of this article is entirely filled with ? marks except for the features of one potentially non-notable feed aggregator, and should be removed unless someone wants to try and expand it. Dialectric (talk) 10:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And there is a column "Adnotation" – wtf? Should that be annotation? 188.193.155.31 (talk) 10:35, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And "Publish Capabilities" should be defined. 188.193.155.31 (talk) 10:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Software Licenses

It would be very helpfull for those of us that do not support proprietary software if the software license for each of the clients/products were listed in the top section. Jespertp (talk) 07:37, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Planet (software)

I think Planet (software) should be included somewhere in this article but I don't know where. Can anyone do it? Thx!

By the way, is Planet the only one that is run in a web server? I arrived to this page trying to find alternatives to Planet.
