I’ve gone desktop and I don’t think I’ll ever go back….<\/p>\n

I’ve been loving Google Reader since I started using it last year, but I’ve been increasingly annoyed at it’s slow load times with large or frequently updated feeds and (few) display quirks in [url=http:\/\/www.opera.com]Opera[\/url]. I already stopped using Gmail a couple months back in favor of my longtime Yahoo! Mail account once Yahoo added the ability to send using your own POP3 account. Yahoo has never failed me and I like the straightforward interface (I have not updated to the newer Outlook-style Yahoo mail).<\/p>\n

So, while I had some time on Monday and Tuesday, I gave [url=http:\/\/www.newsgator.com\/Individuals\/FeedDemon\/Default.aspx]FeedDemon[\/url] a try after reading several good reviews. I’ve never used a desktop RSS reader, so there was a little bit of a learning curve with the interface, but right away, I could see that this was much speedier and just as functional. Because I use a few different machines, I signed up for a [url=http:\/\/www.newsgator.com]Newsgator[\/url] account in order to synch my feeds (which is what I really liked about Google’s app) for reading on another machine with FeedDemon installed or on the Web via NewsGator’s web-based reader with which I have barely played around. I can definitely say the synchronization works well and now that I’m accustomed to the interface, I really like it. There seems to be a lot of customization available including the ability to create command line scripts to send items to different services or save them to a file, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
