Ajax Blog wrote about a few AJAX-powered feed readers. Here are my reviews:
Inform is annoying from the get-go because it opens a popup window from its main site. Not cool. It seems to be kind of difficult to use and unnecessarily complicated (read software bloat).
My rating: 1/5 stars
Orangoo looks like a great idea, but it's not quite up to par. It has a bunch of errors and problems, and it's painfully slow. I'll wait for version 2.0.
My rating: 1/5 stars
Rojo is pretty cool. It has the ability to tag and share stories with other people. It's a lot like a social [insert buzzword] site, such as Flickr and del.icio.us. Its only downside is that it seems a little slow and it's slightly hard to navigate through.
My rating: 4/5 stars #technology
