I read a lot of blogs for my business for research such as marketing tips, product releases new, etc. I've always tried to figure out the best way to keep up with the multiple sites and either just browse the sites or use services such as Twitter or Email Newsletters

I've talked to PC users and many of them suggested using RSS Feeds and I recently got Pulse for both my iPad and iPhone and it's been wonderful. I like the design and how it works but the only problem is a limit of 20 feeds. This covers many of the feeds but not quite all that I want to subscribe to.

What is a good option for using on the Mac? For web browsing I use Firefox, Safari, and Chrome and for email Thunderbird. If I'm correct these offer options for RSS feeds. How do these compare to other feed readers for the Mac. Are web based/cloud versions better? I"ve heard of options such as Google Reader.

    I left this out of my original post but I like to share stories I read via RSS on Twitter and Facebook so integration for sharing with Twitter is important, same for Facebook.

    I swear by Firefox's "live bookmarks" as I find it to be the best and easiest way to see what is available. It shows the titles of the stories, and if I am interested, I click the link to see the full (not abridged) story online.



    Adding new live bookmarks is as easy as clicking the little RSS icon in the toolbar. It also works with Firefox Sync or Weave or whatever so I see the same bookmarks across home/work computers.



    Why no other browser can support this feature is beyond me.
