I have been using the built in RSS from Firefox for the last year or so, however, recently my feeds somehow became corrupted.

Today, while looking around, I came across this article, and thought about using a dedicated reader.

I am thinking about NetNewsWire but thought about asking here for what everyone has been using.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

NetNewsWire even before it was free.

Vienna was my preferred reader, but lately I switched to NetNewsWire because it syncs to NewsGator so I can read my feeds from anywhere. NewsFire has a very appealing interface. Give them all a try and choose one you like. They're all freeware. The syncing option is a real deal-maker for me though.

NetNewsWire works well for me too. Have been using it for a while now (at least one year) without any glitch.

So this is strange.

My Foxmarks RSS feeds are corrupted when in OS X, but not when XP. Does anyone have any ideas?

NetNewsWire in combination with the iPhone app works OK for me. However, the iPhone app has a really annoying new article limit of 200 which means it breaks for BBC News and other busy feeds unless you mark things as read on a regular basis.
