The latest Internet Explorer 7 beta 3 was released today with some new features and some minor changes to the UI and overall it’s still a pretty good browser. Actually, it’s way better than IE6 and I still can’t decide whether I like it more than Firefox. Being able to drag the tabs around inside of IE7 is an nice addition to this version of the beta that I really like.
Now, the problem I’m having is with RSS feeds. What I want is for my browser to have a built in RSS reader much like what the Google Reader does. So I want to dedicate a tab in my browser to the Google Reader like application that should be inside of IE7. When I want to add a feed, instead of it going into that tiny favorites bar on the left that makes checking feeds a pain, I want to be able to see that latest posts on the left and see previews on the right all quickly. Right now you can collect a bunch of feeds but it’s not a very well organized feature at this point. It’s not good enough to get me to stop using the Google Feed reader which isn’t the most impressive reader out there but it currently has all my feeds in it and I don’t feel like moving them all over to another reader.
If anyone knows of a good IE7 plugin that is good for reading RSS feeds, let me know because I’ve been looking for that for a while. It would be great if I could import the feeds into it from Google Reader. If you know of one for Firefox, that would be awesome as well.
I’d be curious to know what RSS feeds most of you are reading my site through and if it’s the RSS reader you like or it’s the one you now are pretty much stuck with using because it’s got all your feeds stuck in it and you haven’t bothered to export them all to another reader? Maybe it’s not that hard to move them out but I’ve never seemed to have much luck getting feeds out of Google Reader.
