Cyndicate CommentaryFull featured, reliabe, I like it - Version: 1.1, 2/26/2008 05:44PM PST

This feed reader does everything I want a feed reader to do. Easy, intuitive, I ike it.

One criticism: It says it's a 21 day demo, but on day 18, it starts giving you nag screens every 30 seconds, making the app functionally unusable.

Cyndicate ReviewFeeds entries that act like email - Version: 1.0, 8/2/2007 09:40AM PST

How is this feed reader different from dozens of others? The simple answer:

Cyndicate treats feed entries like emails.

- can delete entries to a trash can (compare to NetNewsWire)
- can drag entries into folders (compare to Vienna)
- can flag, label, and rate entries, etc.

If you never ever keep your feed entries, then Cyndicate might not be the right feed reader you - although it still has a great learning algorithm (a kind of positive spam-filter) that is still worth trying.

However, if you ever do keep feed entries, Cyndicate's ability to save them in project folders is a useful feature lacking in NetNewsWire, Vienna, Safari, Mail etc. Cyndicate also supports smartfolders, blog app and social bookmark integration, applescript, and a host of other advanced features. Worth checking out.

Cyndicate CommentaryHelp is a huge HELP! - Version: 1.0, 8/2/2007 08:32AM PST

It's buried but to get the website in the app toggle command-D in the article pane (Menu bar: Article>Show Feed Content/Linked Article). You can also select and drag a headline down into that area a la Vienna and NNW. So there's a plus: keyboard access.

Still, a contextual menu item for "Show Linked Article" would be nice.

Another plus, you can select multiple headlines and right-click to open them in tabs (but only in web browser). Can't do that in Vienna nor Safari.

Guess I'll be playing for a while.
