Netvibes


Netvibes is a great, eye-pleasing alternative to Google Reader that offers an excellent interface for reading your feeds. You can select your own theme, rename your page and create tabs to categorize all the stuff you choose to keep on Netvibes.

Netvibes is not an ordinary feed reader. It is more special. You can add Facebook and Twitter widgets, write notes, features a weather widget, a To-Do list and anything else you can think of that would be in a reader. You can even play games on Netvibes. Netvibes is more similar to iGoogle, actually.

Bloglines

Bloglines is a simple feed reader that works as an excellent alternative to Google Reader. A plain, easy-on-the-eyes reader that can be used to read your favorite daily feeds. Bloglines is not as extravagant as Netvibes, but is pretty cool itself.

My Yahoo!


Yahoo users can use My Yahoo! as their RSS feed reader. Non-Yahoo users can create an account. My Yahoo! is another completely customizable feed reader to save and read your favorite feeds online.

ThyNews

ThyNews is a news aggregator, currently in Beta.
