Following on from my post yesterday about moving to Google Reader, there was some good feedback, worth repeating:

• Ben is developing a feed-reader, called Feedable, although it doesn’t seem to be available as yet?
• Bill pointed out an interesting study on feed reader interfaces
• dotTim pointed out that Bloglines marks everything as you read it. Agreed! I’m finding it really annoying that Google Reader doesn’t appear to do this…
• Sophie, like me, is caught between what she has been used to (Bloglines), and the alternatives.

So, what are the alternatives?
Here is a list of some of the more popular feed readers I’ve come across:

• Bloglines
• Google Reader
• FeedDemon
• Start
• My Yahoo
• Feedreader
• FeedLounge
• Rojo
• Netvibes
• Sage
• Pluck
• Gritwire
• News Alloy

I’d be interested to hear about your favorite, and why.

Marking read feeds is one of the things that makes Bloglines worth using for me. I follow too many feeds to lose track of which ones I’ve read, and which ones I haven’t. Ouch.
It’s probably worth exploring some of these alternatives though, just to see what is out there. Thanks for the list. I did sign up to try out feedable, once it’s ready.
