What do you use or recommend on using as RSS reader.

Personally I use Blogbridge. I'm also trying out Newzie, quite nice. Only problem with Newzie is that the content is only concentrate on the center and a lot of display real estate is not put to good use. Where as BlogBridge pack everything nicely, I can see what's the news of the day at one glance. The feature that BlogBridge is lacking is indication of newly updated feed, which Newzie has done a good job on this

Btw, i tried to search if the same topic has been posted before, but the word "rss" is not accepted as a search term, since it's less than 4 character. I think the admin might want to improve on this.

I have long since given up trying to use search engines that are built into any site. Not only are they slow and quirky, but using them is also detrimental to the performance and availability of the site itself - the search unnecessarily takes up a lot of processing power on the server host.

If you want to search Xisto for RSS, use Google instead, with key words:

site:Xisto.com RSS

You can use Thunderbird and have all of your RSS feeds go into that program. You can also set up your email account and have stuff go in there as well. If you're on the internet pretty much all the time with a reliable connection, then Thunderbird would be my recommendation. Plus, you can't beat the price, right? It's freeeeeeeeeeeeee!Hope that helps.

That's the way to go for me as well. I'm currently using FireFox and been using Sage for my RSS reader. Built in with no external program involved. Light-weight and ease of use. Since most of the time I'll be surfing and reading in the web. That's the best.

Love the built in rss reader on opera. Don't even need to open another window to check stuff, it's all in the one program.Nice and lightweight but seems to do everything it should.I don't need an external reader with more powerful features because i only subscribe to the occasional rss feed here and there but i'm not a heavy user.-HellFire
