Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

A feed aggregator, which is also known as feed reader, is a client software or web application which aggregates syndicated web content such as news headlines, blogs, podcasts, and vlogs in a single location for easy viewing. There are lots of aggregators i will just mention top 11 feed readers and aggregators used by my blog readers.

These top 11 feed readers and aggregators are arranged according to my rss subscribers usage.

1. Feedfetcher: Google’s Feed Grabber

Up till now i have only 661 subscribers out of which 397 are using Feedfetcher, which makes it number one feed grabber.

2. Firefox Live Bookmarks

Live Bookmarks lets you view RSS news and blog headlines in the bookmarks toolbar or bookmarks menu. Only 47 subscribers are using it, means its no where in competition with Google’s Feedfetcher but still it is in second position.

3. Netvibes

Netvibe is in third position and is in competition with Firefox Live Bookmark as 30 subscribers are using it. I liked the UI of it, very easy to use.

Only 21 out of 661 subscribers are using it. I liked it’s clean user interface that makes it easy to arrange and track your favorite news feeds.

14 subscribers are using Mac OS X built-in RSS reader. It’s used by the RSS screensaver, among other things.

6. Feed Fever

Just to mention that NewsGator and NetNewsWire are working great together….
When you are using NetNewsWire it can synchronize perfectly with NewsGator when using a navigator on any platform….

It’s my pick !

FeedaFever is the best I’ve used to date. Simple yet gives me the ability to maximize the number of feeds I read.

For those on the fence, I have a review over at my site.

I personally swear by Google’s FeedBurner (feedfetcher in a former life, i think). What’s feedly.com that everybody’s been asking about?I suppose i could consider Firefox’s as a browser one, but it’d have to do some serious work to compete!
