Guide Review - Rocketinfo RSS Reader 2.0 - RSS News Feed Reader
Rocketinfo RSS Reader makes this particularly easy by offering you a selection of good feeds neatly organized in categories. Of course, you can add your own sources, too. But you can do even more, and that's one of the still greater things about RSS: you can set up keyword search feeds in Rocketinfo RSS Reader that automatically aggregate stories from all sources matching your interests. Maybe this feature can be expanded with more sophisticated searching and statistical analysis in the future.
But back to the basics. Since Rocketinfo RSS Reader is web-based it follows you everywhere, and you never have to synchronize your feeds. Still, OPML support for importing and exporting feed lists would be nice.
As somebody who can't deal with every interesting story at once I'd also love it if Rocketinfo RSS Reader allowed me to flag individual items for later use. And while the Rocketinfo RSS Reader interface is very convenient, user friendly and easy to use, some may prefer a more newspaper-style layout that could also aggregate all of a category's news on one page.
