RSSOwl for Windows 2.0 Milestone 8a

Publisher's Description:

RSSOwl is a free RSS and RDF newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library. RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in a more efficient manner. Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are called RSS readers or "aggregators". It is such an application. It lets you gather, organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and sharing, and much more.

RSSOwl has the following other editions available: RSSOwl for Mac OS X and RSSOwl for Linux.

Latest Changes:

  • Copy or Move News into Bins
  • Create Keyword Subscriptions (e.g. del.icio.us)
  • Undo/Redo now available for most operations
  • Display all feeds of a folder at once
  • Improved performance and reduced memory consumption
  • 100 bugs fixed

Better than FeedDemon in my opinion. Less memory, works offline, font size and style is more accessible, seems to load up news items faster when clicking on them. After doing a search, it brings up a window that lets you easily see all of the results in a great layout. Offers a portable solution that FeedDemon doesn't. Doesn't push a service like NewsGator on you. If you are a FeedDemon user, you have to give this a try. RSSBandit looks similar to this product, but is just not quite up to par with RSSOwl's speed.

Hey todd, Why pay 50$ for similar software when this is open source and free? In fact, any good person should boycot commercial software altogether.

Doesn't hold a candle to Omea Reader, and the tray notification looks like my daughter designed it.

While FeedDemon is my RSS aggregator of choice I think RSSOwl is a superb product. It kills the age old sayings that Java is slow as it is easily as fast as any other native application. It has nice little features that other clients do not have such as exporting an article to PDF.

Great product that is in very active development. If you are looking for a free RSS reader this is a great place to start looking. It is a much better experience than you get using RSS on Firefox or IE7.

By far, the most complete free RSS Reader.
The Java issues are gone now. Its as fast as any windows application.

Has many features, does what it says, and in a great way.
