FeedGhost Beta Available - RSS for the masses!
I love it!! i've been a big fan of it ever since it got released and both Stu and Lee are pumping out more great features in the latest Beta release of THE RSS reader for the OPML freaks!
Seriously though! this RSS reader is by far the best one i've ever used.
The announcement came on the 20th of July - unfortunately i've been a bit distracted lately..for those i've spoken to - you know why - but it's perking up big time, i hope...
Here's a direct cut n' paste from the blog post Stu:
New Features
Prioritization
Prioritization allows you to read articles in the order that they matter to you. Priorities can either be assigned automatically be FeedGhost, based on your reading habits, or can be overridden manually.
A new ‘Priority’ column has been added so you can group and sort by the news item's priority. If you're upgrading an existing installation it won’t be visible by default; you'll need to select it from the 'Columns' button on the news list header.

Feed Locator Tab
Adding subscriptions or locating subscriptions from websites has been significantly improved. Instead of a modal dialog, locating feeds is now handled in a tab. Feeds can be previewed before subscribing, and location is integrated into the browsing experience.

Feed Filtering
To complement prioritization, feed filtering allows articles to be completely filtered out. Regex expressions can be applied to particular feeds to include matching articles only.

Other Improvements
If you use the river view to read articles, there's now a header and grouping items. Groups of articles can be marked as read en masse, or skipped entirely. We've also updated the visual appearance.
Alternatively, if you use the articles list, columns can now be customized on a per-feed basis. This option can be found in the "Display" drop-down menu.
Free/Lite Version
Although this won't necessarily be of interested to existing users, FeedGhost will now support a free "Lite" version. This version will be limited to twenty subscriptions (excluding FeedGhost subscriptions).

Seriously, without even those great new features, the application is top notch...i don't know how often i've forgotten to export my OPML after blowing my OS away and suddenly had to start again...well, FeedGhost syncs up and before you know it, you're back in business with a full list of feeds again.
If you haven't yet had a look at FeedGhost, have play with the Beta and i'm sure you'll find that it's just as great as i say it is!
