Now for an alpha ... holy crap!

Will there be a Live RSS Reader?

Call it Live Web

You can have your computer sync your feed list every once in a while. Makes sense to me.

What makes it your favorite? Or are you just following Robert who on every blog posts pimps it?

I exported my feeds from the WizzRSS extension in Firefox.
Imported them into Google Reader with no problems. Even made my folders to seperate the feeds I had setup in WizzRSS.
Not sure yet if I like it as much as WizzRSS.
Both are centralized, but with Wizz, I need firefox. With google, I can read them on any browser. Very cool.
Time will tell if it evolves into a worthy reader.

I just tried it today too. I exported all of my feeds from Thunderbird and imported them into Google Reader. I like many aspects about the interface and I love the fact that I can access my news feeds from any computer, however, I definitely prefer Thunderbird.

I really like the email style navigation in Thunderbird, especially getting the preview from the website without having to launch another window.

Another problem I had with Google Reader was that it didn't update the feeds correctly. I expected them to be updated realtime (at least when I clicked the Refresh button), but they didn't seem to be. I could view many ch 9 posts in Thunderbird that weren't available in Google Reader. I looked for an explanation for this and never found one.

Thanks for the link. I have never really been into RSS Feeds, although this might make me at least consider it. I think I was not very pleased at having to install an application to read them properly, and therefore this is great. I also like the "bundles" if RSS Feeds it offers.
