I was browsing through different download sites earlier, looking for any atom/rss readers I could find for this corporate-beat-old laptop that I have. I couple of results did come up, there’s feedreader, rssreader and the best I think is feeddemon, though the latter isn’t free.

There were a couple of things to consider to sort out the best one that’s for me, I’d really like to have a stand-alone client, something that I can use away from my browser, I want to use my browser for its main purpose “browsing”, that’s why I don’t want any plug-in that I can just stick to firefox or IE, I don’t find it comfortable really. The other irritating part is most of the ones that I did like won’t actually work unless you have Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your PC which is about 20 megabytes … so if your on dial-up, might as well get an all-nighter pre-paid ISP card just to make sure it’ll be done with the darn thing even before you wake-up.

Never had it crossed my mind to get a brand new mp3 player. Though bulky and old, I am contented having my Nomad Jukebox … Well, until this came along, I just wish I have the green to get me one.

Now here’s another one to compete with those oh! so briliant “Instant Messaging Service”, meet google talk, a light-weight, easy-to-use,free software that lets you communicate with friends through chat, email and voice.

Though it’s still under beta testing, chatters and geeks alike will surely be clamoring to try it out … and I won’t be left behind.
