I recently went looking for a good, free (because I am a cheap scate) RSS Reader for the Mac - I found Vienna.
Vienna has a very clean interface and is very simple to use. It takes what could have been a really bogged down RSS Reader with bells and whistles that nobody ever uses and gives you something that works. When you want to add a new feed all you do is click the big plus button and input the feed. It also has special settings for Xanga, Blogger, MSN Spaces and many more places. Then you can choose in the preferences pane how often you want Vienna to check the feeds for new entries. It's pretty cool, also another cool feature is how Vienna is also a web browser, so if your feed (like MacRumors.com ) only lets you see some of the entry, all you have to do is click on the entry an within Vienna it will take you straight to the website.
Of course you can also make smart folders so that if you want to only look at any posts to do with a single topic, for instance photography you can do that.
All in all Vienna is a great RSS Reader and doesn't make a half bad Web Browser either - so check it out!
