The Bottom Line: If you already rely heavily on your Microsoft Outlook, this newsreader is for you.

The Bottom Line: FeedDemon is a terrific RSS reader that can handle hundreds of subscriptions faster and better than the many free Web-based readers available.

The Bottom Line: Rojo is a respectable newsreader, but it's not our favorite. We like its community-oriented features, but competitors such as Bloglines are easier to learn.

The Bottom Line: Digg 3 champions the wisdom and whims of the crowd by allowing users to determine what makes the Web's hottest news and video content of the moment.

The Bottom Line: Bloglines is a fun and free newsreader that runs inside most Web browsers and is sure to please all but the most discriminating news junkies.

The Bottom Line: Onfolio 2.0 is an excellent, easy-to-use RSS newsreader, but unless you need the high-end tools of its Professional Edition, we recommend Pluck instead.

Specs: Free, Windows, Forum, Request form

The Bottom Line: May be too simplistic for more advanced newsreader users.

The Bottom Line: The free version of Awasu is very functional and well worth your time.

The Bottom Line: Nice introduction to RSS for newbies, but it lacks a help file.

The Bottom Line: Pluck's ease of use, flexibility, and tight browser integration make it one of our favorite RSS readers.
