Thanks. Having just discovered that Bloglines can't read my Facebook or my Twitter feeds, I decided to give NewsGator a try. I would still vote for bloglines on the ease of use with the interface, but NewsGator does work reasonably well and it wins for being able to read at least my FB feeds. It seems to have ignored the Twitter feed. I will have to see if I can set it up manually. It will depend on whether it allows authentication.
To keep this somewhat on topic, I did notice they have some unidentified on-clicks that need fixing, but I am wondering if there is any way Window-Eyes might in future be able to identify such objects in browse mode and let us define our own descriptions for them the same way it can do program graphics. I can redefine the element on the screen but Browse Mode still doesn't recognize it. I understand technically why this is, but I wonder if there might be a way to leverage the ability to sync up where the browse mode cursor is with what is on screen and name these graphics in browse mode.
