Variety is always good. Anytime I have steered away from my regular app and tried something new, most times I find a better solution. Let me know how you like Fastladder if you try it. I’d love to know from peers with a similar taste.

Hey Nirmal.. great to see you here, man! And I see you are using Flock as well. Have you tried the feed reader in Flock 0.9?

I skim through the headlines in a feed reader and I jump on to the site to read the comments and participate in the discussion. This way I am able to keep track of lot more sites than I would be able to by going to every site I like.

Hey, whatever works for us right?

Although I have subscribed to many blogs, I dont use feed readers. Some blogs I have subscribed through Email and others I read directly.

Hi again.

I read high-rated feeds on weekdays, and the rest on holidays. It doesn’t take much time.
Fastladder is designed for reading more feeds spending same time, you can read much more feeds by Fastladder than by Bloglines or Google Reader.
You will notice it when you see the scrolling speed using keyboard shortcuts, for example.

Many people don’t read so many feeds, so they’re overlooking this feature. They pay attention only to the surface.
I will try to improve the service for the day you need Fastladder.

Thank you.

I’m going to get this one. That integrated search is a big deal for me.

I’m a bit of an RSS junkie as well, but I’ve found that I have less and less time to try out all the products and services that I want to.

Because I don’t have the time, I have to rely on reviews done by my piers. Thanks again for the review!

Mark, yes I noticed and should have mentioned it in the review. I did miss the keyboard shortcuts as well. Appreciate the subscription and I have you on my GreatNews.

ma.la, thanks for stopping by. First of, you have a great product here and I wouldn’t have taken the time to review it if I didn’t think so.

Wow. You read 3000 feeds? You are a feed junkie. Where do you find the time?

Hi, I am one of the developers of Fastladder.
Thank you very much for the review that serves as a reference.

A lot of people give the uncritical evaluation without clarifying the number of subscriptions.
Are your number of subscriptions only 230? That is a too small number to say “RSS feed junkie”.
I am reading over 3000 feeds with Fastladder.
Did you try the shortcut key?

I just signed up! One thing I like already is the ability to return to the page I was on after subscribing. Clicked the bookmarklet, put it to its folder and it brought me back here. (I was already subscribed you with GReader), but hey what’s one more subscription, right?

I’ll kick this one around and do some comparison with GReader.
