I use netvibes too… but I find it quite slow sometimes. Well… let’s see what awaits us tomorrow :)

(although Pluck for IE is really appealing to me… with its “unique account and remote storing and synching” concept)

OK, after I submitted my last comment I went in search of a program/extension/etc. that makes me happy regarding RSS reading…

I tried Pluck, Sage, Google Reader, and some others but no one of them had what it takes to please me at 100%.

I then thought, why search for more stuff when I got Firefox built-in live bookmarks and netvibes?
If you don’t know netvibes.com you should, I’m going to make that my front page from now on! AJAX rules!

So, now I’m using Live Bookmarks to check minor updates/sites and netvibes to read contents! :D

Oh… pluck?
Well then… try the IE plugin. It works almost flawlessly. And has feautures that don’t work with firefox (like the “export feeds” option) …which is a shame because I never use IE!

Speakin’ of google reader… well… it’s a beta and I expect it to grow a lil more. Feautures will be added and hopefully the interface will change a bit :)

Pluck must be in beta stage because it doesn’t work flawlessly, so I’ll give it a shot on Google Reader.

It’s a shame there’s no Firefox extension or a stand-alone program of this reader…
