Alertbear - the *different* RSS reader - free!
brotherS:
And I think it runs a bit heavy on its own - 35mb at the moment on my system.

Oh? Less than 5 MB here...
Nice looking - particularly like the feed history panel, which is neatly arranged and simple. But I haven't yet found a RSS reader that beats GreatNews...

Well, I already quoted them above: "We also believe that RSS is not email" - so they are using a different approach. So far, I like it.
Thanks for sharing their EULA with us! ;D

We were talking about the .NET framework required before executing this tool, not the sizeof the effective software.
BTW, 80 Mb .net runtimes + 5 Mb software to read RSS : still too much for me, there are tiniest appz that do the same job even lighter ^^

While RSS certainly isn't e-mail, I've always preferred an email-esque approach to it -- particularly when dealing with lots and lots of feeds. Filtering is always nice, then.

That's easy. FeedDemon :)
m_s:
Is FeedDemon really that good? I've played with it quite a bit, but I wasn't sure at the end of all that whether it was any better than GreatNews (at many times the price!). Again, I thought it ran quite heavy, which I really don't need in a feed reader...
