Guide Review - Hot Zoup Reader 1.1 - RSS News Feed Reader
Through a nice and prosaic interface, Hot Zoup Reader lets you read headlines or complete articles comfortably. You can choose between a newsletter-style news page that collects multiple articles or a three-paned interface that allows you to skim and selectively read articles and headlines quickly.
It's also great how feeds can be collected and read in groups in Hot Zoup Reader. Unfortunately, Hot Zoup Reader's tools for organizing don't include virtual folders that automatically aggregate relevant posts. You can quickly search your news items in Hot Zoup Reader, though, and flag individual items for later processing in a very useful manner.
Hot Zoup Reader also offers a nice way of reading comments posted on blogs. It doesn't seem to recognize relationships between blog postings, though.
