NMH: FeedDemon vs Bloglines

For whatever reason, Bloglines is really starting to eat into my FeedDemon attention. Part of it is that I have a Linux desktop at home and I use Bloglines as an alternative to all the Linux aggregators. None of them quite did it for me. The other part is that FeedDemon just isn't providing enough value add.

And besides, FeedDemon seems to be having severe problems with highlighting old entries as new. Everytime I come back to the Wired News feed, let's say, I'm told I've got 30 odd new items. Yeah, right.

Maybe there's a FeedDemon upgrade that fixes this.

Then again there may be no hope. One of the big reasons that Bloglines is really useful is that I'm mainly editing blog postings in a Web interface. Ergo, Bloglines gets a tab, the posting form page gets a tab, and it's easy to transfer links and clippings to a blog post.
