[Omea News]

I recently downloaded this from the Jetbrains website. These are the guys who brought out intelliJ and Resharper. Omea is a all in one information management system which integrates with Outlook, windows file system, your newsgroups, your rss feeds, web bookmarks. Pretty good interface and nice way of presenting what is important to you as views. Omea reader is a lite version of Omea and does not contain the Outlook integration. The RSS news feeds and Newsgroups reader is pretty good. It also has a pluggin to wbloggar to quickly post a blog directly from that interface. One of the nice features is it groups these items into categories that are defined as today, yesterday, last week etc.

Currenlty I use Sharpreader to read blogs and Outlook express to read news. Omea reader gives me one package to do both. Lets see if I stick to this for some more time...

The first time I downloaded Omea by mistake. It is a time limited beta edition. Omea reader is offering a free licence and is available for donwload till Jan 2005.

A cool tip for anyone who uses this reader....
You can import your OPML file to quickly get up to speed using this reader but one thing I missed sorely was to display all the newly updated feeds in a list. A quick way to do that would be to create your own folder, call it "All" and import your OPML feeds within this folder. Clicking on "All" will now allow you to see all the feed updates from within one folder.
