This is pretty nice, but I found it distracted me from my email, so I stopped using it and switched to Google Reader. Having the RSS reader in the email client is a very good idea, but it just didn't work very well for me. @Mike - I didn't realize that Thunderbird had a feed reader built in. I'll have to look at it more closely some time. @Jeff – My email mailbox has the ability to subscribe to rss feeds in their own imap folder.

It helps me limit my feed reading because I limit my email usage as much as possible so if my email isn't up I am not constantly checking feeds either.

Personally, I use Mozilla Thunderbird. I tried the speedyfeed website and some others but found the websites to be cumbersome. I am much happier synching my eMail and news/feeds at the same time. Not to mention the ease of clicking on a link to go and comment. Feed readers make information much easier to manage and read. Personally, I use Mozilla Thunderbird.
