Amit : I used to have Feeddemon earlier, but now I use a combination of Feeddemon and Google reader. Here is the trick: There are hundreds of blogs to which I am subscribed to, some of them come up with posts I never read ( Example - iPhone, Android, Gadgets). Hence I have some watch folders in Feeddemon which is used to accumulate those posts containing the keywords I am not interested in. When I start reading, I run the watch folders and mark all of them as read. Then I start reading from Google reader (synched with Feeddemon)
Debajyoti Das : @Amit: Thats really a a smart Idea..... :P Most Blogs I read are posting about ipod, ipad apps... whats stings me is when people post too much about stuff they don't use themselves... like ipad, iphone 4, blackberry
Amit : Yes, since I dont have an iPad, I dont blog about it. Well Can I Really ? God know when the Google Reader team will allow us to Filter specific keywords. My feed reader is a real mess !

Harsh Agrawal : For me it;s Windows: feeddemon Mac: Netnewswire iPhone: Netnewswire... I like them because they sync with my Google reader account...
Debajyoti Das : @Harsh Agrawal: I too use Feeddemon... becoz of only one shortcut Ctrl+D. It marks the current item read and goes to the next unread item. This option isn't there in Google reader.
