Thanks to Kevin, I just found out about Newshutch. Once I signed up for an account and logged in for the first time, I knew Newshutch was not like any other online RSS aggregator I have ever used. First off, it has the hands-down most amazing design, slick interface and JS effects. Yes, it’s all AJAX-ified and the coders knew what they were doing because it is FAST. Much faster than FeedLounge, which is also AJAX enabled. With Newshutch there are no page loads, it’s all done gracefully live in real time and switching amongst feeds has a nice fade effect.
Currently, there aren’t really any options for how you want to view your feeds so that means you have to deal with the summary view. However, I think I’ll be playing with this more. Definitely a 10 when it comes to WOW factor. Check out Newshutch.

Holy crap that’s hot. Goodbye Bloglines, hello Newshutch.

Looks good, but i’m settled with FeedDemon for the time being.

I really like Newshutch but I can’t imagine it replace FeedDemon and Newsgator for me. The interface is great and fast.
But it does seem to have problems with EE feeds, feeds which are displayed properly in bloglines and feeddemon.

I was using NewsGator online for a few weeks to sync with NetNewsWire on my iMac at home. It was terrible, but I finally switched my main work access to FeedDemon, which isn’t as good as NNW but it’s miles head of NewsGator Online.
I can’t really bring myself to use an online reader because I like having the ability to read them offline if my internet connection drops out or something. I also haven’t found anything as fast or feature-rich as NetNewsWire.

Thanks for the heads up, I was getting itchy feet with Rojo but I couldn’t find a service that I liked the feel of. Newshutch could be the one……..

This is great and it’s free!
Thanks for sharing this, way better than Feedlounge.

My biggest issue with feed readers is the update frequency, which with the case of most is an hour. This is fine for a lot of sites, but with raw digg feeds and such it’s nice to have a bit more frequency to stay on top of things.
Anyone able to recommend a web-based feed reader which at least has a more frequent update for key feeds such as digg and other such fast moving news sites?

That looks like a really slick RSS reader — I might have to try it. As it stands I’m using Liferea and really liking it — but it’s kind of a pain going between work and home and having the same posts appearing twice. An online solution would fix this — but I’m not as much a fan of the online reader. What to do what to do

Aaaaaaaaargh, this Newshutch thingy is almost the same as my little reader (still unfinished – it works great, but has no name and no design)… I didn’t have to see this… :( btw, what would be a good name for rss aggregator just like this one?
I had issues with trying to get full text for any of my feeds, which pissed me off enough to stop playing with it. Until the manipulation of feeds gets a bit clearer, this is an also-ran, slick though it may be.

It seems that Newshutch got extremely popular overnight.. now it’s incredibly slow. Hopefully they add some new servers to their lineup.

What’s the speed issues with Feedlounge? I have never noticed it being slow. They’re continually rolling out new features too.

Then I need to give it a go. But not for now.

Nice job Newshutch is doing it seems. How you guys find their speed after the initial hoo-ha?
But if you subscribe to an obscene amount of feeds, this email style of feed reader might not do it for you. Check out onelurv; it makes reading through tonnes of headlines much simpler.
I gave Newshutch a look and came away pretty dissappointed. Even now it’s still really sluggish, it didn’t import all my feeds and most importantly, it doesn’t display images (at least not for me).
I’ve tried Rojo and a handful of others but I always go back to Bloglines.
