20 Free RSS Readers Reviewed by Simplehelp

Simplehelp has a handy article - 20 Free RSS Readers Reviewed ("rss reader" = "aggregator"):

Now that almost everyone knows what RSS is, I figured I’d review a few of the ways you can read RSS feeds. With a heavy emphasis on cross-platform and/or open source, here are 20 (albeit somewhat brief) reviews of the free RSS readers available. Links to download, screenshots and system requirements are included with every review.

If you are getting tired of the aggregator you are using, this could be a useful starting point.  Be aware that the reviews are a few sentences with several screenshots of the aggregator in action.

Of the applications reviewed, 3/4 are client apps (install-on your machine) and the other 1/4 are web-based apps.  Of the client applications, nearly half operate on several platforms.  Of the rest four are Windows-only; two Macintosh-only; and two Linux-only.

Sadly, the platforms reviewed don't include some of my favorites: GreatNews (my current aggregator) and SharpReader (for threaded views - though RSS Bandit is reviewed, which also does threading).  In looking at my FeedBurner stats, the review certainly covers the big readers.  Interestingly, My Yahoo shows up as about 2% of applications used to read my feed.
