Well I never thought I would say this but I’ve just bid goodbye to RssBandit my feedreader for the last three years and completely switched over to Google Reader.
The deciding factor was that I could read all my feeds from home. Google Reader is way fast over dial-up than RssBandit simply because the heavy lifting is done on the server.
If I had better bandwidth, would I have switched? I think it’s time someone wroteup a serious WPF XBAP that does feed reading. I’m betting on Newsgator to do this. Wait, that’s a super cool project to work on…
Congrats on brave jump!
PS: Let me know when you’re done with the new reader, so I can download it.
Merill, did you consider about Bloglines MyFeeds? It is super cool online reader.
You can afford be happy as long as you dont want the popup notification when feeds arrive.
I checked it out too. Its a good move, even though I hate to admit it, considering the fact that its from Google.
Wait till Live comes up with something better!
I do have a Bloglines accounts but it never felt fast enough. AFAIK there’s no plan for a Live Reader, although there is one that comes with Windows Mail.
