Publisher's description of Snarfer 0.8
From Snarfware:Snarfer is an easy, fast and free approach to enjoying RSS, ATOM, and XML feeds. Snarfer comes with hundreds of feeds to choose from, includes a tabbed browser and has wizards to help you construct complex searches for EBay and Craigslist that update as new results become available. Snarfer can synchronize with the free Bloglines service so you can access your feeds from another location (like the office or an Internet cafe) with a browser.
Version 0.8 has added newspaper (river of news) view and folder consolidation in folder tree.
Editor's review of Snarfer 0.8
4.0 stars
- "Devouring feeds right and left"
This top-notch feed reader will devour your RSS and Atom feeds, though a few users might find it too basic. Snarfer keenly follows the "keep it simple" adage in every function. An uncomplicated, uncluttered interface follows a generic app design of left-side listed entries with a right-side preview pane. Copy a feed link in your browser and switch to Snarfer, and you'll find the program has already entered the link from the clipboard into your add-feed dialog.
To save an entry, simply drag it to a Save folder. E-mailing an entry and other basic functions are available in the context menu, while helpful wizards make it a snap to add and save Craigslist or eBay searches. Especially helpful is the prominent Quick Search box, though searches can't be limited to a single feed. Feed updates and update intervals are easily set, and users can elect to automatically save entries they have read or have them expire after a certain number saved. You can also import feeds from other readers using OPML.
This is a perfect first feed-reader for newbies, although experienced readers will miss customizations like changing fonts and preview pane location. Nevertheless, we recommend this freeware feed reader for its simplicity, small footprint, presentation, and efficiency.

Version: Snarfer 0.8
"The Best Rss Reader, i had ever used."
Pros: Snarfer is the best rss reader among all the available rss reader's on the internet. Believe me i had tried a lot of rss application's most of them claim to be fastest, but rather they use a lot of system resources and slow down the pc, however Snarfer does not even let you know that it is running. You could also minimize it to system tray. Snarfer includes a Search Wizard that enables users to construct complex searches for local rss feed items or information contained on eBay or Craigslist.
In short it is small size takes less resources, loads fast and also have support forum.
