About six months ago I wrote about the GreatNews RSS Desktop Reader and how I liked that it synchronized with Bloglines -- that is, if I read an item in GreatNews then it marked that item as read in Bloglines. I installed GreatNews on my USB drive, and pretty much only use Bloglines if I don't happen to have my USB drive with me. Using a desktop RSS reader is much quicker than using a web-based RSS reader, so I've been quite happy with this arrangement.
Here's the problem: If I want to delete a feed in GreatNews, I also need to delete it in Bloglines. Same if I want to add a feed. I have a lot of feeds, so after a while this gets to be more and more of a problem.
With the web-based NewsGator Online and the desktop client FeedDemon, if I delete a feed in one, it automatically gets deleted in the other. Neat. And both are now free. FeedDemon has a lot of features too. And NewsGator/FeedDemon will import your Bloglines feeds to get you started. Give it a try!
