I'm a fan of NetNewsWire on the Mac, personally. I use 4 different Macs, and it's been a boon to processing large RSS sets quickly.

It syncs with the cloud, so all my machines are always up to date with my subscriptions and the read/unread/flagged status of each item.

Additionally, their iPhone app is extremely sophisticated; much better than any other mobile RSS reader I've ever seen. It syncs with my data, too.

There's also a web interface for NNW; however, being in IT, I rarely don't have a machine with me.

It's also free ;)

Hi Barbi,

Definitely agree - some days there's only so much time available to get
everything done =). I try to just keep time slicing and multi-tasking
separate so I don't fool myself into thinking I can always do two things at
once.

I tried OMEA reader before, I remember it was excellent and well put
together. I've long been a fan of desktop clients, but Google Reader won me
over a couple years ago - and once they added Google Gears, I was set. I
just turn on Gears before I head on a plane etc and I have tons of offline
reading material.

Thanks for your comment!
