Hi guys. I'm kind of newish around here compared to some/most of you... I just realized how cool and useful and stuff it can be to use my 8125 to read RSS feeds/podcasts. I was hoping some of you guys who subscribe to RSS stuff (not just with your phones, but PC too) wouldn't mind sharing some of your feeds with me. Blogs, news, comics, miscellaneous stuff... I don't care, I'll be the judge of if I want to see it or not.

I see with some readers, they are able to import/export lists in OPML format.. so I figured that would be a good standard to go by, unless you just feel like typing everything out, that works too.

This isn't just for me, it's for every inquiring mind who wants a new feed to look at in their daily routines.

I'm still deciding on what RSS reader to use... I'm testing out egress and newsbreak. Hubdog takes up a lot of memory but at least it's free (and it was pretty good except for the memory stuff). pRSSreader is free but it was also pretty good. I know there are a LOT of threads on RSS readers for these mobile phones, but if anyone wants to throw in input, maybe hand me a reader I haven't thought of/heard of before, I would appreciate it.

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to what everyone likes/thinks is worth their time.

I use SPB Insight not free but very good, has a feed guide built in with the top threads. Might be worth thinking about.

I personnaly use pRSSreader, a great freebee...

See more here : http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/

What i like best ?
The ability to cache some webpages on a SD (let's say) to have an off-line reading...

thanks my friend but it didn't work!

Not sure if I like SPB Insight anyway.. I only do a couple feeds that contain podcasts, but it doesn't look like insight supports podcasting at all. I don't want to be hindered later...!

Anyone else have any RSS lists they don't want to submit?

the two forums that i probably check the most often are the xda wizard ones...and fatwallet.

hot deals at fatwallet

free stuff at fatwallet

finance at fatwallet

for reader, i usually futz around with pRSSreader...only because it's free and functional.

I found a great site for OPML sharing, it is located at http://share.opml.org

Thanks to all zero of you were nice enough to suggest an RSS reader (i asked you not to do this) and to share your RSS feeds lists (only one person got close). You really made this thread worthwhile. I hope the extra ~60 seconds it would have taken you to export your feeds to an OPML file and upload it here were spent wisely.

Nice find jonflow, that site has helped me fill up my list of feeds quite nicely. I've avoided the RSS reader thing altogether and just sync accross my RSS feeds using Outlook 2007. They appear in an RSS feeds folder in Messaging, and they even get pushed out right away with OTA sync, it's an intergrated lazy man's match made in heaven.

Try looking at NewsBreak2.0 I tried it out with some video podcasts too, but for some reason they would always lag, otherwise I really like it.

Eh, I don't subscribe to any podcasts, vidcasts, etc... I don't really get anything through RSS that's easier for me to get through email, so I've never seen the need for another app in RAM that'll check info thats a pain to read on the small screen. I've also been testing rssfwd.com, and I'm really liking that since it makes it much nicer to get a daily digest like with Slashdot.

Code for SPB Insight 1.5.1 newest version (trial can be downloaded from spbwarehouse.com)

Admin edit: code removed.

Code is my personal unlimited license (can be distributed as much as I want " my reward for beta testing")
