Powerful! - Version: 1.2.2, 9/10/2006 11:55AM PST

For something free this is incredibly powerful and complete.
- SEARCH!
- Add feed from URL has one of the most powerful feed discovery tools I've seen.
- OPML Import was so quick!
- has a one click feed editing.
When starting off I was a bit confused as it first show the intro and no menu, but once you have a feed showing all the tools appear.

I have imported 150 feeds from Net News Wire as OPML file successfully and all works great. Good to have this RSS reader back and working great on all my Macs.
as soon as RSSOwl is activated, frontrow and even dashboard is losing it's pretty animation. the animation is not "flowing" anymore. doesn't look nice and is very slow. as soon as i close RSSOwl, pretty animations are back.
i don't know why... i also often have crashes when reading articles. even when doing nothing it suddenly crashes.
however, RSSOwl is my favourite newsreader. perhaps the developers can try to fix this frontrow issue.
greets and happy eastern
