Out of curiousity -- do you only read your subscriptions on one machine? I liked the interface for FeedDemon, but I read my feeds at home and at work, so I need a central-server configuration like bloglines.</p> Well said, I had exactly the same problem with it, and promptly switched back to bloglines.

FeedDemon is supposed to synchronize feeds but I couldn't make it work. Ideally, I could browse with FD at home and use NewsGator Online on the road, but it just didn't work. Perhaps when FD 1.6 final is out.</p> Stewart - home/work is the same thing for me, and 99% of the time I read feeds on my main dev machine. 1% I use laptop while travelling, and its nice not to have to synchronize files when its time to go.

Quick scanning of feeds is an absolute must - I was hoping they'd come up with a great in-browser app for this, but it seems not yet. Not all that Google touches is gold...</p> I agree completely - it’s really not even 5% of FeedDemon.

A big problem with many aggregators is that they expect you to read every item one at a time, which may be fine when you start reading a few feeds, but it doesn't scale at all.</p> <p>BTW, can you let me know what synchronization problems you're seeing? FeedDemon 1.6 is still in beta so there are a few kinks to be worked out, but for the most part the synching should be working.</p> I’d say you’ve hit the nail on the head here.
