Newsgator Online vs FeedDemon - different platform, consistent interface
As I’ve bought FeedDemon, I also got a subscription to NewsGator Online. I hadn’t really used it until today, as I’ve mainly been using FeedDemon Client. But today I wanted to access my feeds from another PC, so I thought why not give it a whirl.
It’s actually not bad at all. The part that really turns me on is that my folders, subscriptions and unread items list, even though web-based, looks and works exactly like the FeedDemon client one. This is good because I really like consistency in interfaces, and this is a good example of a consistent interface between the client and the web.
The individual feed view is different on the web, as it displays all the items at the same time. Which was a bit unexpected, but it’s actually good and I’d even go as far as to say that reading the content on the web could be faster, since you don’t need to click through all the unread items individually.
The best part of course is that the read/unread stats are in synch between FeedDemon and NewsGator, so whichever I use, I don’t need to read the same stuff twice. Good work guys.
