Web-based RSS reader for Firefox users

TechBlog blogged Firefox users get tired and frustrated running into sites that only work with Internet Explorer. FeedLounge is, for now, refreshing revenge.

It's a new, Web-based RSS reader that works only with Firefox. That's not necessarily by design -- FeedLounge is still being built and is in the alpha stage. When it moves to beta, according to a notice on the site, IE users will have access.

The screen shots make it look very cool. Microsoft's Robert Scoble rightly describes it as "like Bloglines on steroids."

Unfortunately, it's a closed test -- you can't get past the bouncer at the door without an invitation. There's a spot on the site where you can petition for access.

While you wait patiently for entry, here's a review to read.

You can also get details from the creators, Alex King and Scott Sanders.


Regarding the review, note it is in three pieces: 1,   2,   3. Also be sure to note what Dwight said, it's a closed test. I followed the instructions on the page about "Add to My FeedLounge" and set up the javascript on my tool bar, and could not figure out why it did not work for me until I realized that.
