Awasu is a RSS client that lets you monitor news from thousands of web sites and blogs around the world. Unlike other RSS clients, it has a powerful plugin architecture that allows you to monitor absolutely anything at all, even if it doesn't provide an RSS feed. For example, samples are provided that let you monitor a database, notifying when changes are made.

Disgusting how the others hide the cost etc. Say a lot about their character, that's why I'm adding this program to the ignore list.

Boo to this. If you look on the homepage of Awasu they have carefully removed any trace of 'buy' or 'purchase' links, making it difficult for Betanews to actually confirm its freeware/shareware status. I would not want a program on my computer from a developer that does that.
Reviewing 2.3.2 Alpha 2 (Oct 24, 2007)
Very unimpressive - cheeky developer really charging so much when several of the free ones, even web based work better.
For example, I exported my google reader subscriptions to an XML file. I imported them into Awasu, and most of them gave errors and wouldn't display. Whereas I imported the same xml file into GreatNews (free) and they all imported perfectly, really fast.
Total thumbs down to Awasu.
Reviewing 2.3.1 Alpha 1 (Jul 12, 2007)
I find programs like this very annoying. It's almost as bad as UAC with Vista. The nag is always on, asking the user to buy.
