   what is the best rss reader for desktop?
   I know many of you are using one. I would like to get one for myself even if it is a paid one.
   So, I will need your suggestions.

   Will be waiting....

   For me the choices are pretty clear. On the PC, Feeddemon. On a Mac, NetNewsWire.

   Both, however, are commercial products but are well worth paying for IMO.

   I'm using feedreader.com. If you like light and simple, you should try it out.

   I use SharpReader. For the Windows OS, and runs on the .NET Framework. It's simple and fairly easy to use.

   FeedDemon is excellent.

   If you want a server side solution (or one that will run on xampp) check out Gregarius.

   Not technically a desktop product, but Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com) is an excellent tool, and allows me to read from any computer.

    FeedDemon looks great, and Bloglines too. Unfortunately neither can post directly to WP! Does anyone have a desktop solution that can do this?

    For the mac: NewsFire.

    I think it's better than newtnewswire. the only problem is that you have to pay if you don't want annoying messages.

    I use the inbuilt reader in Opera myself. Handy as I already use Opera as my main browser.

    Firefox also handles RSS feeds by default and I believe there is some plugins to help out too.

    Maxxed,
    Did you mean something equivalent to "Blog This" i.e. respond to an article your reading by posting to your blog ? FeedDaemon does not directly support this, but you can configure FeedDaemon use a helper application (a desktop blog editor) to do this. (so, its a two-app solution)

    On the original subject of "What is the best rss reader for desktop?", I prefer RSSOwl, mostly because it's free, open-source, and cross-platform.
