Favorite RSS reader?

For those of us who are completely and hopelessly addicted to newsfeeds like it was our job (wait... it *is* my job...), it is difficult to imagine there was ever life before RSS. I was inspired today by the release of
Tickershock 1.1 to pose the query of what is everybody's favorite RSS reader.

Of course, there is the old standby, and NetNewsWire is still one of the first apps I open on those rare occasions when I need to restart my Powerbook (unlike other operating systems we need not mention here, which require restarts every couple of days. You know who you are.). But in diversity there is strength, and I love leveraging the best aspects of different applications which, on the surface, 'do the same thing.'

Thus I am also almost always concurrently running NewsFire, its main advantage to me being handy audio notification when feeds are updated. I keep my "short list" of "watch closely" feeds in NewsFire and enjoy the game-like aspect of being able to be right on top of the latest items.

Today I add to my arsenal Tickershock. As the name implies,
the application displays headlines from your feeds in classic tickertape fashion across the top of your screen. When you see a headline worth reading, just double-click it to launch the RSS entry in a preview pane. From there, you can choose to open the full entry in your browser. This is an incredibly handy tool, and my only complaint with it is that I use virtual desktops (Desktop Manager), and so far I haven't figured out a way to get the ticker to span all the desktops. In some ways it defeats the purpose of the app to have to click into the desktop it is launched in to view the ticker. If anyone knows of or figures out a way to span Tickershock,
please post in this thread, thanks!

Also, please post in this thread your own favorite RSS reader(s), whether in this list or not. It would be cool to compile a list of all the available readers for the platform in this thread. Thanks!!
