I'm looking for an RSS program to manage news feeds and bookmarks. My primary browser is Safari (though I don't mind adding another browser if needed for a good program). What are people using/recommending? Free is alway preferable but I'll drop a nominal fee for a superior product...

Vienna is pretty good, free as well. Not free but very good IMHO (I use it ) and very Mac-like, NewsFire. Another option is NetNewsWire. Like all Mac software, these programs can be found on macupdate

I like Flock (browser with integrated RSS) or Sage (extension) in Firefox (browser).

I downloaded NetNewsWire Lite (the free version). It asked if I wanted to utilize NewsGator which I had not heard of but figured I give a whirl. Seems to organize a lot of the news feed options out there. Once I figure out what I'm doing I'll check out some of the other mentioned apps... Right now, I've got 1463 feeds to catch up on!

Thanks for replies.

I used NetNewsWire for a while, but I chose the Lite version as my deafult reader. The full version has a built in web-kit based browser, wich I don't use since I prefer my default browser (Camino this week) to handle my browsing, it also saves me some good megs of ram
