I can second the nomination for NetNewsWire if you're on a Mac. It is one of my favorite apps. NNW syncs with Google Reader (which I also despise) if you're away from your own computer and need to look up something in your feeds. I haven't used FeedDemon, but am told it is similar to NetNewsWire in quality. [Protip: I use a script with NetNewsWire to automatically back up my flagged (saved) feeds into DevonThink (http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/devonthink/index....), and it has saved me a great deal of time on research. The DevonThink AI helps me find connections I might otherwise miss. I have a ridiculous number of feeds I follow, though.]
