I have played with no end of readers, and I did like Sage.
But I ended up enjoying the text-mode Snownews.
I know it sounds geeky and all, but it is really, really nice.

Nice job as always. I just want to mention that Liferea does have network manager support as well.

I use google reader too, and it's out of beta now so it won't go away now just wish I could get notifications in gnome when it gets updated

I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I do like Google Reader.  I've used Sage and also Thunderbird for RSS as well. 

I notice that some feeds show up with the whole article in Google Reader while others, LinuxReality for example, show only a small bit.  On my site using mambo, there was a setting for RSS so that it would give the whole thing in the feed.  Before I turned that on, only a bit of the article showed just like on LinuxReality.

Is there a setting that can be changed on the feed for this forum that would show the whole message so that I can read it all in the feed?
