---------- The list: ----------
I very roughly separate them in three categories:
A. Specific Applications
B. Browsers with RSS-handling capabilities, and extensions/plugins
specific to browsers
C. "docklings, menus and tickers"
----------
A. Specific Applications:
----------

Amphetadesk
http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/
v.0.93.1(jan04)
price: free
developer pedigree: ?
formats: RSS
can save posts: no
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: no
user interface specificities: Like RadioUserland, Amphetadesk builds
locak html pages (on your mac) and then uses your default browser to
show them (e. g. the browser will show you
http://127.0.0.1:8888/index.html); this way of doing is no the most
flexible one IMHO (but historically that's the way everything started)
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -

import/export: no
available in other languages : no ?
FeedMe (was "Relatively Simple Syndication")

RSSOwl
http://www.rssowl.org/
v. 0.9b (oct2004)
price: free (accepte contributions)
developer pedigree: many developers, on SourceForge, / Open
Source
formats: all versions RSS + RDF et atom ; handles passwords (but not
keychain)
can save posts: yes, in XML format
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: yes
user interface specificities: cross-plateform (Java 1.4.2) with clear
mac look and feel incl. Tabs to get more compact windows. Java use means
slow startup (but good reactivity afterwards incl. on e. g. a G4/400).
Adding a new feed seems long and complicated
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -
filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / yes, very elaborate
(using e. g. Bayesian filtering to score new items based on previous
judgement...)
searches (a given word): yes
import/export: yes, imports from OPML and exports to OPML, html, pdf...
available in other languages: yes
Radio Userland
http://radio.userland.com/newsagg
v. 8.08 (oct2004)
price: 40$ (includes the "blogger" in addition, plus 40 M storage space
on RadioU. Site)
developer pedigree: probably *THE* oldest RSS soft on internet, since
1988 I think
formats: RSS (+?)
can save posts: no
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: no
user interface specificities: builds locak html pages (on your mac) and
then uses your default browser to show them (e. g. the browser will show
you http://127.0.0.1:8888/index.html); this way of doing is no the most
flexible one IMHO (but historically that's the way everything started)
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -

DesktopRSS
http://angeman.perso.cegetel.net/DesktopRSS/fr/
v. 1.1 (oct04)
price: free (accepts donations)
developer pedigree: seems the only app from this author
formats: RSS (+?)
can save posts: no?
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: no?
user interface specificities: very specific "aqua" look (see
screenshots on website) that strongly reminds iChat bubble-based windows
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -
filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / no
searches (a given word): no
import/export: no
available in other languages: yes
Strider
http://nemesys2.dyndns.org:8080/Strider_EN.html
v. 1.0b1 (oct04)
price: 12$
developer pedigree: two other simple utilities (file synch., character
counting)
formats: RSS (+?)
can save posts: no?
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: yes
user interface specificities: look is "as mac as can be" (one window,
two panes, one drawer, reconfigurable toolbar), open ambition is
simplicity ; dock icon with quite detailed menu. Another "perfect app to
learn RSS"
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -
filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / no
searches (a given word): no
import/export: no
available in other languages: no
MacFreePOPs
http://www.e-link.it/macfreepops/ ; see also the freePOPs project
http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/
v. 1.5 (oct2004)
price: free (accepts donations)
developer pedigree:
formats: all RSS versions + RDF et atom; handles passwords (no link to
keychain)
can save posts: yes?
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: no
user interface specificities: MacFreePOPs is quite a specific app, with
initialy no relation to RSS : its aim is to "bring webmails back to POP
format" (allowing your mailer to e. g. connect to Googlemail...). A very
large number of webmailers is supported, via dedicated plugins (one per
server, list is impressive). It happens one plugin has been developped
to import RSS feeds into a mailbox. You then get a series of
RSS-link-specific mailboxes, that of course you can archive etc.
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -
filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / no (but your mail
application could do this)
searches (a given word): no
import/export: no/yes, to mailbox
available in other languages: no (not really needed once set)

version, the only one for now

iBlog
http://www.lifli.com/Products/iBlog/main.htm
v.: ?
price: 20$
iBlog is both a blogger and an aggregator (starts in blog mode by
default). Nice features, pretty decent interface, and you view the
content of the RSS articles in an embedded window, HTML and all, if they
have any. Don't have to click on a headline to open a browser. Powerful
blog publisher as well.
SafariMenu
http://www.edot-studios.com/index.php?category=5&item=15
v. 2.0 (oct2004)
price: free
developer pedigree: many other utilities, among which Grid Zone,
HeadBreaker, IdleWeb, DrDJ Free, iBeatTime
formats: RSS + Atom
can save posts: no
also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: n/a
user interface specificities: simple menu that triggers Safari (not
tested) ; RSS handling is just one feature aside system-wise bookmark
capability
interfaces w/ other hardwares: -
filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / no
searches (a given word): no
import/export : no
available in other languages: there is a "localization pack" but I don't
know what it does
----------
B. Browsers with RSS-handling capabilities, and extensions/plugins
specific to browsers
----------
That's not my preferred area. Don't hesitate to comment, update etc.
Here, generally the RSS feeds newslists will be shown like bookmark
lists (e. g. in the preferred bookmarks/folders pane), allowing to
directly jump to the selected news. A fast way of doing, that on the
other hand lacks flexibility (e. g. one cannot define when the RSS
checkout is performed, nor see which titles have already been read...);
also, one can hardly handle more than a dozen RSS feeds at a time...
Firefox
version: 1.0RC1 (oct04)
developer pedigree: Mozilla team
price: free
RSS feed contents can be shown as bookmark lists : long-clicking a
bookmark shows the entire list and you jump to the related piece of news
by just selecting it.
Efficient when one has only some feeds to handle -this is generally
valid for all browsers.
Opera
version: 7.54 (oct04)
price: free with ads or 34euros (upgrade: 17)
The most "all-in-one" in the browser category, Opera (that also includes
an email client, IRC chat functions...) now also handles RSS

Amazingly, given the size of your list, you left out one: the browser

I find the one in OmniWeb to be pretty much useless. It
just, as far as I know, tells you that an RSS feed has
been updated. It doesn't aggregate and show you a
summary.

It's a very fast and organized way to look at summaries
and updates. I'd never have the patience (nor would I
necessarily remember) to check what's new at MacNN,
SlashDot, a half a dozen friends' blogs, etc. etc.
without NetNewsWire or the equivalent.
Admittedly, before NNW, I'd simply put the set of
sites that I liked to check regularly into a menu
in OmniWeb (and before that, Safari) and every day
I'd just go and tell the browser to open that whole
menu full of links in tabs. But RSS is *way* more
efficient.

The one I run does those things (5.1beta3). It's a better integration
than what Firefox has imo (as is the case with many things in Firefox),

Exactly: a good idea, but no big deal. Certainly it doesn't merit the
huge amount of hype it's getting.

Well. The mere fact there are 50+ different apps on the single mac
platform alone, is maybe more than a sign of hype.
For me RSS has increased the number of sites I daily check by a factor
5, for *less* time spent. Which is enormous.
This is the kind of thing, I know I'll never come back from.

I'll integrate it in the next release, but not immediately, as it is
already the second time I publish this list in one week...

As a demonstration of just how carried away hype can get, this is pretty
impressive.

Either that or it means the hype is seriously out of control :) Such
things have been known to happen.
Btw I hope I was clear that I wasn't denigrating your efforts here. I
think you did an excellent job summarizing the current state of affairs.
What amazes is only that there's so much information out there for you
to gather on such a simple, if useful, piece of technology, of such
limited general utility -- little more than an efficiency hack really.

Many of which create the web page clutter and noise that one uses RSS
aggregators to avoid.
