Vienna is a brilliant open source feed reader for the Mac
I/ve never really got on with feed readers. Yes, I know, everyone says that on the Mac Net Newswire is brilliant. Well, I will accept its a very fine piece of software. But to me the user interface looks like an old email client and I never really got the hang of managing my feeds. They ended up a total mess with too many duplications and dead feeds et.

I had a go at using Flock but it really is too slow. I bought an account for Shrook. Oh and `I even started aggregating feeds in my ELGG account. So you see I have been trying.

For the last four weeks I have been thinking about sorting out all these feeds. then three days ago Mike sent me a link to Vienna. Man - this rocks. It looks good, it is intuitive to use and best of all is Open Source. Sadly it is only available for the Mac at the moment.
