I’ve still foundnothing better than newsgator.com which is free and fantastic.
The beta ajax style interface isn’t quite there yet in terms of accessibility
use use the classic view for now, easily organise your feeds in to folders of
your own choosing and you can see how many new stories are available in each
folder or feed. Choose if stories are marked as read when viewed or if you
want to mark them viewed manually. You can also move stories to a clippings
folder or forward to email or text messae. You can have stories initially shown
on screen as headlines, summary or in full, clicking on the headline shows he
story in full for the first two options.

Subject: [access-uk] Decent accessible RSS client?
I'm sure this has been mentioned thousands of times on here, but as always when
not really needed I haven't really paid much attention about the information
provided.
I'm more in to RSS feeds now. I know that IE7 has RSS capability, but there are
several things I don't like about it.
1. IE does not pop up notifications when new feeds are available automatically,
you have to manually go in to list of feeds and check if there are new updates
in feeds that you have subscribed to. I understand there are clients who notify
you as soon as a feed is updated?
2. I understand that IE is meant to indicate when going through list of feeds
if a particular feed is updated. Mine doesn't seem to do it. I know for a fact
that there was a new update to one of my feeds that I have subscribed to that I
haven't read yet, but IE didn't indicate that.
So in conclusion, is there a reasonably accessible RSS client that will notify
me as soon as a feed has updated? Also is there a way to export all my current
feeds that I have subscribed to in IE to another client and if so how? Thanks
in advance for your help.
