Well, I recently decided to reactivate my NewsGator RSS reader account, after using the Google Reader for a while. When I logged into the Web site to upload my OPML file, the good folks at NewGator invited me to try their Inbox for Microsoft Outlook. I used this application at work for a while, until the first year ran out and my IT department didn't want to renew it. I could have pushed for the renewal but honestly, the previous version didn't play well with Outlook/Exchange, and I decided the lock-ups and delays weren't really worth it.
This morning, I remembered how much I enjoyed getting my feeds into my mail client, and decided to give the latest version a try here at home. Hopefully it works better this time around. If it doesn't cause any problems, I'll end up purchasing it… again. :-)
*Why stop using Google Reader? It works OK but the Web delivery, even when it's on my custom Google home page, isn't really useful for reading a *large* number feeds. (I have more than 50 feeds that I read every day.) So, I decided to go back to NewsGator, which gives me greater control over marking feeds as "read" and keeping others.
