Great list. This topic seems to be getting some steam lately. It was all the rage the past couple of days on two online journalism listservs. I compiled a list of some of the apps they use at http://www.newmediabytes.com/2007/10/10/top-tools-and-applications-online-journalists-use-to-get-the-job-done/, but I didn’t include some of the apps that you mentioned.
One thing I’m wondering, what do you think is better, online or desktop feed readers?
