Do you have any recommendations for RSS news readers? I’m writing a little piece for the Washington Post’s Sunday Source section and I would love to include as many good RSS news readers as possible. Of course, a warning about not-so-good readers would also be a help.

PS — I already have recommendations for Sharpreader, Netnewswire, and Bloglines…

Hi, Paul. It isn’t exclusively a newsreader, but the Opera browser has a very easy to use newsreader function that allows you to add feeds as you’re browsing. It’s on the basic side, but it works well for me.

On an unrelated note: I finally prevailed upon Google News to remove the ‘satire’ designation from the BTC stories the crawler picks up, so henceforth things like your wholly unsatirical “Darfur” post won’t be mislabeled.

Let me know when your Post item is up so I can link to it.

And on a semi-related note: The site got another mention in Dan Froomkin’s column yesterday.

Cheers,
