Matthew,

In strictly my own personal opinion FeedDemon is a far superior product. Nick Bradbury has done; and continues to do, an excellent job on the program.

As I blogger I would be lost without it - I can’t put it any simpler than that. This might be different for the casual reader but for me Google Reader never made the grade.

In your opinion, is FeedDemon more useful than Google Reader?

sorry to hear you were under the weather for that long. hope you are back up to full steam.

this might not be one of the killer type features but it is definitely a nice addition to a long list of excellent features in FeedDemon.

Panic button indeed. I use Google Reader - there’s no panic button, it stops counting at 1,000 new items.

I had 7-10 days recently where I was just too under the weather to do much of anything, including reading the 300 subscriptions I have. When I realized how much was left for me when I came back, I felt pretty overwhelmed.

Instead of deleting it all, I chose to chip away at it over 2-3 days. I finally caught up yesterday.
