Feed Reader
And this is the last RSS program to be tested in this blog
And this is the last RSS program to be tested in this blog
Found in a Greek forum and seems to be quite known in the related community. And as I tested it is one of the slimmest and finest programs so far .
The version tested is the last , though released on 2009!! Thus we might suppose the developing team stopped supporting this program so far
Its first feature that comes with some predefined sources as
-business offering Business Week and Forbes (invalid feed address )
-news from BBC
But there is also an option to use their preloaded feeds , as follows:
-F.R. int'l collection : Business ,cars, entertainment , nes ,tech , travel
-Top1100 feeds (but are empty )
-Feeds in dansk , german hebrew, frisian and swedish! ee
Synchronize with other online readers
News feeds :
-Search feed : Feed reader has an excellent way to include all search engines in check boxes for maximum of 10 . The sources are delicious , ebay flicker , Google blog , Google news , msn search (bing), technorati , twitter , yahoo news , youtube video . Other programs require separate entry for each search engine. The above picture shows on how the search is behaved
-smartfeeds : from a instrinstic search . a point that i havenot tested , and nither interested
-save article : It is a mixed tag and web posting (internal ) feature and happens only in watch article mode. Once the save is pressed , it opens a dialogue showing the article add , a link , a channel to select (archives or one of the news sources ) , a tag , author and content to be added plus some basic html formatting
-cleanup : this is the most basic and comes from the database information . It shows also the inactive and problematic channels The stared and archived postings are kept
-‘news ticket’: A small ticket shows the ‘just arrived’ news . It is located on the right bottom .As I found this si the most sensitive part of the program and is subject to freeze. Options are fading in& out , head display duration

- news bar : as inthe above picture a bar showed in the top or in the bottom of the screen with the latest news . All items are adjustable : position top or bottom of screen , news heads show , last XX mins of arrival , head display time.
-views : classic (head on top ,feed on bottom ) , wide (head on left. feed on right pane ), full (as newspaper with full feed view)
The viewer is very basic IE based , and offers browsing on original feed source of the selected feed ajd shows a save mode , that keeps just the feed Any linked pages outside the source page can only be watched with the default browser. Any linked pages inside the parent web page can be watched with the intenal browser !
- news availability :As with the other programs the news are received immediately. In very heavy posted sites seems to keep only the 300 last postings as with remain programs .
Here browsing comparing to great news is a bit better . You can scroll news by using ctrl and down or up
as for copy paste to Word 3 the speed id relatively good . The resulted pasting is a bit diaspointing as the lines spacings are quite high (ca 1.5 line spacing )
OPML imports and exports are included in the program for transferring your favs from and to other program
IN each case the feeds are sorted by reverse date. There are other 3 options tag and source but deliver the exactly same result
Any way this program goes quite far from the remain though still i could expect two things to rate it as perfect , though i don't think so due to a possible canceling of this project ....:
1. retrieve the news
2. have a delete feeds from the right click menu
