In fact it was my reader of choice for a long time, unfortunately I couldn't get the Outlook 2007 version to load correctly. FeedDemon and other NewsGator products are collecting attention data, so I can tell from FD what feeds I read the most. The next step would just be to sort them by that. 'Course I'd prefer sort by aideRSS postrank. Michael, the closest thing I’ve found is Attensa’s Outlook-based reader.

But you know what I would really love? An RSS reader that adapted to my reading, and did some exploring for me. Start with my current list of favourites and present them to me. With each post let me actively mark as interesting/or not. Also take some passive feedback, if I click through, pause for an extended period then infer that it was of interest. If my rating of a blog is higher give that blog more 'air time', if it stays high add some select members of that blog's blogroll to my playlist. If I tend to rate blogs with certain tags higher, randomly add other blog entries with that tag. Although reading RSS feeds is pretty simple there is a great deal of passive information I am passing with my actions. Harnessing this could create an amazing experience for the user. Let me know if you come across this in your adventures. I'll let you know if I break down and implement it myself. I am going to try out Snackr.

Once you get into these buggers there is social pressure to <em>do</em> stuff there. And frankly you have to ask yourself, what does it do for you. @Michael, yes I try to try out as much as I can (I'm loving Snackr as a fast easy RSS ticker). Sometimes I don't just get to write about it all. Which means, maybe I should. @Kelly, that’s exactly it. Once you get into these buggers there is social pressure to do stuff there.

It is interesting to note the role early adopting bloggers play in our ability to filter all these options. With so many new 'toys' to play with I am more likely to check one out if someone else recommends it. And not just anyone, someone who has established that they will lead me down the efficient path to the latest and greatest. Tris, good building on Sarah’s post.

I haven't been to Facebook in eons - I find the "add ons" annoying. I can't even remember the MySpace password, it's been that long (I was never a fan). My social media has, of late, been limited to twitter. And I check in with LinkedIn every now and again but the ramped up pushiness on LinkedIn is aggravating. I don't like having to reply to everyone, make introductions, write recommendations. That's why I enjoy Twitter. I tweet on my time. I agree that there’s waaay too much to keep track of anymore.
