Letting you manage web bookmarks, browse newsgroups and search your Desktop, Omea Reader is more an all-in-one organisation tool than a mere feed reader.
Letting you manage web bookmarks, browse newsgroups and search your Desktop, Omea Reader is more an all-in-one organisation tool than a mere feed reader. Still, the ability to subscribe to, update and view RSS and Atom feeds provides the heart of the program,
with plenty of options for presenting stories and articles in whichever way you please. Particularly useful is Omea’s capacity to find feeds automatically when you type in a web address, rather than needing to know the exact URLs. You can also create as many categories as you wish to keep your feed list tidy, prioritise items with a choice of six different coloured flags and easily share selected articles via email or blog.
Verdict
Omea works equally well with both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and lets you import existing subscriptions from other feed readers, including Bloglines. Our only complaints are that the feature-packed interface takes a while to get used to, and that the software is a real system resource hog, using twice as much memory as the average feed reader.
