RSS feeds are a 'tech' way to track sites. RSS源是一個'技術'的方法來跟踪網站。 With the increase in prominence of RSS feeds, the number of feed readers(aggregators)have also increased.由於增加了突出的RSS提要,數量飼料讀者(聚合)也有所增加。 You can find online readers like Google Reader and Bloglines and desktop readers like RSSOwl and FeedDemon, the sheer number of choices can intimidate you.你可以在網上找到讀者喜歡谷歌閱讀器和Bloglines和桌面讀者喜歡RSSOwl和FeedDemon的數字偏高的選擇可以嚇唬你。
I have moved back and forth between GreatNews, Google Reader, Feed Reader and FeedDemon, until finally deciding on FeedDemon.我提出來回GreatNews,谷歌閱讀器,閱讀器和FeedDemon的飼料,直到最後決定在FeedDemon的。 The reasons were as follows:其原因如下:
- Online readers offer the convenience of seamless feed reading.網上讀者提供了便利的無縫飼料閱讀。 You can read it on your desktop, laptop or cell phone/PDA (all three in my case), without any problems.你可以閱讀它在您的台式機,筆記本電腦或手機/掌上電腦(三個在我的情況),沒有任何問題。 There is also no need to synchronize your accounts or worry about whether one part of it has the latest feed that you added.也沒有必要同步您的帳戶或擔心的一個部分,是否有最新的飼料中添加。 Earlier, I used to export feeds as OPML from my desktop reader and import it in Google Reader if I needed to travel.早些時候,我曾經作為OPML出口飼料從我的桌面閱讀器和進口它在谷歌閱讀器,如果我需要去旅行。 However, usage becomes difficult if you have a slow connection.但是,使用變得很困難,如果你的連接速度較慢。
- Desktop readers can work efficiently even when net connectivity is slow, not to mention usage when offline.桌面讀者可以有效地工作,即使網絡連接很慢,更不用提在離線時使用。 This can be useful in travel/transit with a laptop.這可能是有益的旅行/過境的筆記本電腦。 However, synchronization is a problem for desktop readers.但是,同步是一個問題桌面閱讀器。
- Online feed readers save favourites/starred-items, while desktop readers do not.在線供稿閱讀器儲存的最愛/主演項目,而台式電腦的讀者沒有。
FeedDemon solves all the above problems. FeedDemon的解決上述所有問題。 It can synchronize with Newsgator Online, from where you can read your feeds on another computer(this is not a good idea, as Newsgator Online is not as good as Google Reader).它可以同步NewsGator在線,從那裡你可以閱讀您的供稿另一台計算機上(這是不是一個好主意,因為NewsGator在線是不如谷歌閱讀器)。 You can also install FeedDemon/NetNewsWire on other computers and synchronize them with Newsgator too.您也可以安裝FeedDemon的/ NetNewsWire裡面找到在其他計算機上,並同步他們與NewsGator了。 It is also a desktop reader, eliminating the problems associated with online readers (especially since I am on a slower connection).這也是一個桌面讀卡器,消除問題與在線讀者(尤其是因為我是一個較慢的連接)。 There are other programs that offer online synchronization, but they do not offer the features or flexibility of FeedDemon (for example, reading on mobile devices/Macs).還有其他一些程序,提供網上同步,但不提供的功能和靈活性的FeedDemon的(例如,在移動設備上閱讀/ Mac電腦)。 And finally, the favourites folder is also synchronized, which means that you do not lose them in any circumstances.最後,我的最愛文件夾也同步,這意味著你不會失去他們在任何情況下。

Interface接口
FeedDemon sports a clean 2 panel interface, with several useful functions and shortcuts. FeedDemon的運動一個乾淨的二板接口,有幾個有用的功能和快捷方式。 Apart from the useful synchronization functionality, it supports a 'My Clippings' feature that can be used to mark your favourite feed items.除了有用的同步功能,它支持'我的剪報'功能,可以用來標記您最喜愛的飼料項目。
Unlike many other desktop feed readers, FeedDemon does not go with the dull grey default color-scheme alone.與許多其他桌面供稿閱讀器,FeedDemon的不順應灰暗的默認顏色,單靠綜援。 In Tools > Options > Appearance (tab), you can change the skin to a more cheerful 'Office 11′ that imitates the interface of MS Office, and also changes to blue/green/silver variant depending upon which color-scheme you have selected in Start > Control Panel > Display > Appearance (tab).在工具“>選項”>外觀(卡),你可以改變皮膚更歡快的辦公室11'是模仿接口的MS Office,並變為藍色/綠色/銀色變異取決於哪種顏色,您所選擇的方案在開始“>控制面板>”顯示“外觀(標籤)。 I would recommend the blue variant any day.我建議藍色變種的任何一天。
Ease of Use易用性
FeedDemon is very easy to start using. FeedDemon的是很容易的開始使用。 There are proper text/icons for each function, and the menus are properly classified.有適當的文字/每個功能圖標,以及菜單適當歸類。 To get started, go to File > Import Feeds if you have been using another reader.要開始使用,到文件“>導入源如果您已經使用另一位讀者。 Then go to Tools> Options to tweak various preferences.然後進入“工具>選項來調整不同的偏好。
Problems問題
The only problem that I have noticed until now is that FeedDemon hangs for a few seconds if you synchronize feeds.唯一的問題是我注意到的是,到現在為止FeedDemon的掛起幾秒鐘,如果你同步源。 Adding new feeds may also cause this, as they get synchronized too.添加新飼料也可能導致這一點,因為他們得到同步了。 But I believe that it is a small price to pay for the wonderful feature that synchronization is.但我認為這是一個很小的代價精彩的功能同步。
Rating: A solid 8/10 for the interface, synchronization feature and ease of use. 評分:固體8月10日的接口,同步功能和易用性。
