Anyone have a recommendation for the best RSS app for OS X 10.2? I've never used RSS before but I know it's been out there for years and I'm wondering what it's all about.
I'm also wondering if there's a web-based RSS viewer? I split my surfing between 3 computers (a PC at work, my laptop & my iMac) and it would be great if I could view from a website instead of being locked into only viewing from one of my computers.

Thanks to someone else on MacNN (forget who), I've been turned onto netvibes.com. It's a fabulous little RSS/mail/everything reader on one trim little page.

NetNewsWire is the daddy of alll RSS applications. They have recently joined with NewsGator (an web based RSS reader) - if you buy a licence you get a NewsGator account. The whole thing synchronises. Works great.

Thanks all. I think I'm going to go with netvibes for now. Google's a great company, but I'm starting to worry about having every aspect of my life on their servers.

Another vote for NNW. It's a great app, though I'm not too happy with the newsgator syncing. Since they switched to NG for syncing, I've found my feeds to be out-of-date. I don't know if it's a problem with the beta of NNW or if it's a NG problem. It's frustrating knowing that my feeds are out of date (there are times when NNW says that there are no new stories on digg.com for a day or so and I *know* that's not true). Hopefully they'll work this out.

I second the vote for Netvibes.com. It's the only way I've found that I like to view RSS. It lets you view dozens of RSS headlines on a single page, like a news website, and you are also able to have many other modules (email, weather - pity you can't change where it get its readings from though, box.net, flickr etc.)
It's similar in concept to personalised Google and that Microsoft offering, but more mature.
It's also all free of course. Ah see you went for Netvibes. Well this is just another advert for it then...

NetNewsWire is the god of RSS readers. Plus the NewsGator syncs work fine with me - never out of sync and always in tune.

Safari is plenty good for RSS feeds. I just don't see why one would have a separate app for it.

I've just found one problem with NNW at the moment - NewsGator goes down, you don't get to refresh your feeds!
