Shortcuts that make sense: Like middle click to open the news item in a new tab.

Online Sync: I want to be able to sync by feeds on all computers I use.

OPML support: I want to be able to export/import feeds easily from other computers.

Just the headlines would be ok for this, no need for images or stuff that would slow the reading. But I want one long page with everything in. There may be “next page” buttons, I don’t mind.

Read all news items from all feeds in a single, long page: I click somewhere, and a newspaper with all the news items from all the feeds are added to it.

I don’t want to have to read 2000+ items.

Information overload management: Give me a way to instantly mark all feeds that are older than X days or hours as read, and remove them from my sight.

The ability to randomly shuffle the feeds before display would be cool too. Pausing my cursor on the news item must give me a short excerpt of the news item, as well as the site it came from and the date/time it was written. I also need a way to temporarily pause the ticker, scroll it in either direction, hide it to a single small bar, or close it. When I click on an item in the ticker, it optionally loads my browser with the news page, or loads the feed reader with the news item loaded in a new tab. I want a small horizontal bar on my desktop that scrolls all news items for the day at a customizable speed.

A newsticker: This is an essential feature for me.There should also be icons that allow me to mark the item as read, flag it in a separate folder, open it in an external browser, open it in a separate tab in the feed reader itself or simply, expand the article right in the newspaper so that I can read the text directly there. Maybe an image too, like a small passport photo. I want all my news from the feed I read to be displayed in small boxes, with the title and an excerpt from the news article. Newspaper layout: I seriously like that.So what is it that I look for in a feed-reader? What are the essential features? I made up a list! I actually listed down all those before I searched for the ultimate feed client. But hell, not even one could provide all the features I wanted in a single software. I’ve tried so many freeware and open-source apps, but kept away from the paying ones. I’ve spent countless minutes searching for a feed-reader, or news aggregator if you wish.

I want full control over what I keep, what I share and what I want others to access. What if tomorrow, the company that manages the web-feed-reader goes out of scene? What happens to my feeds? And if ever they decide to keep usage info on my feeds so as to create spam “targetted advertising”? No thanks. I like my data on my computer, not on some server on the Internet. No need to load Firefox, point to some random URL to a web-based feed reader or whatever. Click the icon in the notification area, and voila! I got my news at a click. For one single reason: it’s so much simpler. Whatever, I still want my feeds on my desktop.
