Since the loss of my Searchfox RSS reader I have been in the process of finding a new one. With Bloglines far behind me I have been looking for the best web-based aggregator that fits my needs. My needs include 1) the ability to manage > 150 feeds easily 2) river of news readability 3) clean, simple, efficient, and intuitive design. As of yet I have not found what I am looking for. Google Reader is not intuitive but does provide a river of news. Attensa has ‘well it’s better than bloglines’ going for it but it’s a temporary solution.

Awhile ago I had signed up for FeedLounge which was another up-and-coming rss aggregator release. Finally I got a demo (two weeks ago) as they opened up their beta. Once they announced the release (opening up) of their application I hurried over there in hopes of finding my SearchFox replacement. What did I find? I could get a three hour tour and service for $5/month.

So I replied to their email explaining how “i’m not going to pay for an rss reader.” Alex King promptly replied saying, “We know that we there are free readers out there, however FeedLounge was created to fill a space in the high-end web-based reader space that many felt was not adequately filled.” If Richard McManus is anywere near right that RSS Readers will be commoditized than paying for a feed reader has no chance.

And seriously, who does three hour tours?
