Snarfer

I've been using Abilon as my RSS Reader for the last couple years. Unfortunately the company seems to have disappeared and development has stopped. Recently some of my feeds have stopped updating or previewing correctly. I've occassionally searched Versiontracker and Tucows (and other sites) for an acceptable replacement with no luck; either the interface was too poorly designed or the app ran too slow or...something.

Finally today I stumbled across a potential replacement. Snarfer is a free RSS Reader that also supports queries on Craiglist, eBay, etc. I don't expect to use those features but can remove the plugins as necessary. The simple fact that Snarfer supports plugins has some interesting potential and I look forward to some of the options that will be available in the future. The interface is similar to Abilons; clean and simple. Snarfer also seems to be faster and has a better icon(!).

Updated: This is for my laptop running XP. Vienna is my reader of choice on the Mac.
