Company: FeedLounge
What is it?
The FeedLounge web-based RSS reader alpha was announced on June 9, 2005. Feedlounge is the newest entrant into the increasingly crowded RSS Reader space. Feedlounge is web-based, like Bloglines, Pluck, Kinja and Rojo, and has tagging (both feeds and posts), saving items indefinitely, and flagging items.
Scott Sanders, one of the founders, writes in his blog that he created FeedLounge as a web-based application because he works from many different machines. Their goal was to create a thin-client-like experience, and the early alpha testers are coming back with very positive reviews:
FeedLounge often feels much more like a desktop application than a web page. Clever combinations of Ajax and CSS add a ton of “hey wow” moments when using the system. As with Alex’s other works, the user interface is clean and easy to navigate.”
Key Features:
- choice of layouts
- useful keyboard shortcuts
- OPML import support (export support later)
- Tagging (both of feeds and posts)
- Works only with Firefox, by design (a plus in TechCrunch’s view)

You say “Works only with Firefox, by design”. That is only true for the alpha. We intend to support all recent browsers including Safari, Firefox/Mozilla/Camino, and IE6+(5.0 and 5.5 not a chance).
Ok, well, all we can hope is that it takes you a very long time to get the IE version out.
Ive had dreams with scenes like that in em, but usually only when I was awake.
I wonder how robust this statistic is? And does this one only tell half of its own story?
Enjoy our beloved Gore Vidal in all his clothed glory.
I’m not going to use it though because I’m using other similar products
