Feed readers is very important to me. I believe its the same to you too. There are many web based feed readers out there, but what is the best feed readers? Which one to choose?

Frank Gruber from the famous TechCrunch wrote a review about all the major web based feed readers, and his review can help you to choose the best web based feed readers. Frank reviewed 9 web based feed readers:

I know you will ask this : Why My Yahoo! is not in the list? Well, Frank said:

I did not evaluate MyYahoo, the most widely used web-based reader, or similar products like Live.com, Google IG and Netvibes because these are more virtual desktop applications or portals with RSS reading built in. Heavy RSS users need a more industrial strength application like the ones I have listed above. I believe MyYahoo is a great option for a quick read of your feeds or for on the go feed readers viewing the Internet via cell phone or handheld device, but this service does not have the feature set for a heavy information consumer.

The best part is, Frank made a comparison feature chart, which is very useful.

For me, my favourite tool that i use is FeedDemon from Bradsoft which now is acquired by NewsGator. I am very pleased with the way FeedDemon manages the feeds and the news.

Ooops! Who’s the winner?What is the best web based feed reader?Read on..

I quote the summary from Frank review:

If you are looking purely for performance, Google Reader and FeedLounge are the fastest in our tests. Bloglines and Rojo are the best choice if you are looking for a feature rich application (and Rojo blows Bloglines away on “web 2.0″ type features.

None, however, yet approach the speed and agility of the best desktop based readers like NetNewsWire and FeedDemon.
