Lektora

Part of what made Newsgator so successful was the fact that it integrated with MS Outlook. While I personally find the app to be overly bloated, it does make it super easy to import RSS and OPML goodies into a user’s PIM with little effort. Now that PIM integration has been addressed, this brings us to the need for something of the like for all of us who want this sort of functionality from within our Web browsers.


Enter Lektora. Designed to be not only easy to use, but browser friendly as well, this could become the application that will begin to drag more of the mainstream into RSS usage kicking and screaming. The fact is that you will not likely get the mainstream to jump on board RSS without integrating it into either a user’s browser or even their email client. This is nothing new and THIS program does them both.

Lektora is completely integrated in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. It also offers an intuitive user interface and highly polished aesthetic. You can now read your news in the Internet tool you use the most: your browser.

Reading feeds is made easy with Lektora, which presents feeds in a familiar journal approach, very similar to reading a newspaper. Less clicking, more efficient reading.

I have loaded this program onto my computer and it works without any problems at all.
