One of the most interesting features that got me to download FireFox was its RSS capabilities. After about 10 minutes, I went back to the aggregator in Radio, which, in many ways, is still my favorite. Since that time, I've also been using NetNewsWire on my Mac. Its powerful, feature-rich, and very easy to use. However, in order to get everything out of it, I will have to move my blog over the Mac. Not that I am squeamish about it, I just like keeping my foot squarely in both camps. It definitely helps with the wide variety of questions I get every day.
Now Safari (Tiger) adds an RSS Reader. Actually, its old news, but I am curious to see if anyone is using it and what their reaction is.
