Microsoft’s Beta RSS Reader Start.com Adds Roaming

August 10th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

Start.com, Microsoft’s cool beta RSS reader have just added the ability for accounts to roam using MSN Passport.

I don’t think this quite constitutes release 4 of the prototype but release 4 must be due soon given that:

start.com/1 -> released in March 05
start.com/2 -> released in April 05
start.com/3 -> released in June 05

start.com/4 -> overdue???????

I really like the service and it is very very fast as it uses Ajax. All it needs now is some way for me to add my own bookmarks (just normal webpages), show me a unread count per feed and better handling of folders and I’ll have everything I need.

Out of the new breed of readers emerging from Google et al this one is my favourite. Although, Feedlounge looks promising.

Update: Unfortunately the sign-in feature doesn’t work with Firefox…..More: Feedblog
