BlogBridge - RSS Reader for Windows, Linux, and Mac

12:02 am Software, Software, Software

I have been on a search for a good RSS reader for a little bit of time.  You see I have been putting all my bookmarks in to The Brain, and this has been going pretty good. Unfortunately as I come across an RSS Feed that I want to keep notice off, I was a little bit stuck.

I have tried google Reader, and it is a good basic reader that lets you read the RSS Feeds from a number of places, but it is a bit limited, the place where it is limited is on my Microsoft Mobile phone as I want to read the news there.  I might try other on-line RSS Feed places, but for now I tried to find something that I can take cross platform with me.

Well I have stumbled upon BlogBridge, while I do not know if it is a good permenant solution as I have just started using, at this point it fills the void for me.  If it does not work out it has an OPML export so I can start using others.

What I like so far about it.

  1. Java - Means that it is cross platform and can work on windows, Linux, and Mac.
  2. Ratings - That is perhaps the biggest draw for me as it allows you to rate the feeds, as well as create its own ratings based on predefined statistics.
  3. Whats Hot - A button to see what people are talking about
  4. Tags - Tags using  del.icio.us or their own BlogBridge account.
  5. Smart Feeds - This gives you the ability to grab feeds from various services.

So far I like what I see, but will have to see if it is really good or just something that is not for me.
