Attensa for Outlook comes out of Beta; no longer free =(
I heard on TechCrunch that Attensa for Outlook came out of Beta. However it’s no longer free and thus is no longer my RSS reader. I really hate to sound like a stingy bastard and I certainly don’t mean any ill will towards Attensa, but I just can’t see myself spending money for an RSS reader when there are plenty of free readers available and since Microsoft has already announced that the next version of Outlook will have RSS reader functionality built-in.
It’s kind of a shame because except for a couple weird memory-hogging and stalling issues, I have generally enjoyed using Attensa for Outlook since December when I first discovered it. Luckily, Attensa does allow me to export my subscriptions to an OPML file. Now the question is, to which free RSS reader will I import this into. I think I’ll check out Attensa Online, their free web-based reader which just launched.
Anyone else using a RSS reader they think stands out from the rest?

I use bloglines its an ok reader but since I read my feeds from 3 different computers it helps me keep it in sync. The other cool thing is that someone made a lil ap for blackberrys so I can read it from my phone. That is the killer feature that keeps me from switching to another reader.
