I bounce around RSS readers quite a lot. I’ve used Vienna, NetNewsWire (once it went free), NewsFire (again, once it was free), Google Reader, Flock, Safari and Apple’s Mail.

I don’t really get excited about new RSS readers but this Times one looks very nifty indeed.

My main attraction to it is that it supposedly makes it feel like you’re reading a newspaper or magazine. I am one of those weird people that even tho I can get the info for free on the web, I still prefer to go out and buy a magazine and read it.

Something about having something tangible in my hands makes me absorb the information better. Odd, I know.

I’m also intrigued by the ’shelf’ you can use to store highlighted articles. I’m forever opening links in Firefox with the intention to copy the url and post about it on here but nine times out of ten I accidentally close the tab and forget to go back.

Hopefully, in five days time when Times is released, that shall be solved.
