Get yer feeds in Outlook for free
At a recent interview presentation, I talked about different types of aggregators, and I mentioned NewsGator as having a niche market in being able to integrate news feeds into that ever-present office planning tool, Outlook (which I also happen to use at home).
Niftiness has been achieved now that NewsGator is *free*. Thanx so much to Tara Calishain over at ResearchBuzz for spreading the good word. I use Outlook at home with an older version of the PlanPlus integration software from FranklinCovey, because I'm somewhat of a planning freak (but hey, planning leaves you flexible to change, so it's all good), so I'm not sure that I'd be able to add another plug-in style module to my installation here at home. However, many of the positions I've interviewed for thus far have mentioned the use of Outlook on their library employee computers, so being able to plug your news aggregation into your everyday planning and administration would be super keen and seemless, like reading news groups in Outlook Express.
