yes, I have validated using http://feedvalidator.org ... :) thanks for the heads up, IRC served that one to me on Wed this week. :) Liferea looks pretty neat. I'm hoping for cross-platform though, b/c our clients are probably mostly windows users, but I know there are some Mac and there are a few Linux users out there.
Liferea - Linux NetNewsWire - OS X MyYahoo!, MSN - web based, so doesn't matter Google - hopefully the portal home page they are working on will add it to the beta soon Mozilla Thunderbird - Linux, OS X, Win, and probably more Mozilla Firefox - Linux, OS X, Win, and probably more ipodder - Linux, OS X, Win, but doesn't fit the mold exactly for the model I have in mind, but I suppose would still work thanks, hope to see more possibilities!
