I got this as part of the macheist bundle and I find it so limited. I really can't see the point? You get to read a headline and then have to go to the web site to read the article, then back to NewsFire for the next feed. Safari or Firefox do a much better job of rendering and allowing you control and display of feeds. I love reddit.com but with this all I see is a headline, I have to click to go the site, it doesn't render the page right there in the RSS reader like many others do. Its a very old school way of handling feeds. Glad I got it as part of a bundle because there's no way I'd pay for something that basically has me double handling everything and swapping back and forth between two apps rather than just using one that can do both.

VERY limited html display - i_gaucho

It all depends on the RSS feed. Some feeds include the entire post or article while others just include a snippet making you go to their page. I think sometimes this is done so that you will still view the ads that pay for their website. In some ways RSS steals advertising money. You may have noticed that some feeds have even started to include advertisements.
