I have been using Feeddemon for about a fortnight. Basically, it is a reader for RSS, atom etc. feeds. There are free readers out there, but I thought it was worth paying for feeddemon because it is so slick – it genuinely helps you to read the content of your feeds, which is what it is all about. Feeds are kept in groups, and each feed and group generates a “newspaper” – or browser display of the contents. This is configurable so you can present the feed contents in a format you like (or download one that someone else has made). Use a “newspaper” with some sensible values for reading and feeddemon becomes a genuine “information centre” doing the browsing donkey work for you, so all you have to do is scan the updates in all your favourite sites.
What I also like, is that it handles RSS enclosures, so is also my podcast software. You can set it to download all enclosures automatically, but I have quite a few, where I read the description then click the paper-clip icon to start the download for the ones I want to listen to. It downloads in the background, saves it to a sensible place and logs it into Windows Media so you can find and listen to it later (or put it on the Muvo so I can listen to it at the gym).
