2009-04-14T07:24:21Z 53483 0 Just doesn't come up to snuff for me. I tried it, but in comparison to Outlook 2007, Thunderbird 2, and FeedDemon, there's really no contest. I wanted to like it, I really did, but I just can't. Examples: Thunderbird and Outlook scroll through posts when you press Space. Feedreader? Not so much; it simply skips to the next one. In Outlook, you can select a group at a time and mark it read. Feedreader? Nope: it has groups, but they don't do a whole lot really. In FeedDemon, you can open a folder and see all the posts inside -- and read and mark them read, too, without selecting them individually. Feedreader? You have to go through the messages one by one, which is slightly slower. None of these were deal-breakers, but together they're quite disappointing. It simply appears that the developers didn't take enough time to look at their competitors, copy their best features, and fix their flaws -- and for a program to be unable to best Thunderbird in the user interface... well, that's a pretty terrible program, I gotta say. 17044345 2007-04-20T07:33:14Z 79 2012-01-18T12:43:24Z FeedReader 736 2009-11-30T16:35:33Z http://www.feedreader.com http://wakoopa.com/software/feedreader http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/126/585/normal.png?1248933333 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/126/585/thumb.png?1248933333 1763 i-Systems Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/isystems-inc 22 RSS Readers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/rss-readers win FeedReader is software that allows you to read your RSS and XML syndicated news. Some websites have a RSS or XML address that show the last notices or news, FeedReader is like this application. In this way from unique software and without opening different websites you can look the last news and access to what you need. It’s fast, easy and a friendly tool. To read this type of syndicate notices you will get a list of your preferred sites and content of the same just with one click. If you access one of them, on the other frame you will be able to navigate through the website from where the notice is loaded. Its function is very simple but more than useful; you can add the selected RSS from blogs and other websites to keep yourself informed. It does not affect the performance of the system, it allows you to minimize the software into the taskbar, and when the reader receives any update from the site a pop-up will be displayed informing you about the update (windows live messenger pop-up style). 2009-03-08T07:01:19Z 46512 0 This engine is probably one of the most promising developments in the Semantic Web, especially since it doesn't require people to manually add metadata, which has been one of the major sticking points to date. Stay tuned. 72471 2008-10-13T11:39:31Z 152674 2009-12-02T17:04:10Z Powerset 307 2009-04-01T13:38:56Z http://powerset.com http://wakoopa.com/software/powerset http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/012/297/normal.png?1238593134 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/012/297/thumb.png?1238593134 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Manage and tweak your network 54 Network Tools http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/network-tools web Natural language search engine for the Internet: ask a straight question, get a straight answer, complete with references. 2009-03-08T05:31:11Z 46505 0 Thunderbird is still having growing pains, but I'm happy with the direction Mozilla Messaging is taking its revitalization in version 3.0. I expect Thunderbird will soon have a lot more of Firefox's best attributes, since it now has a lot of developers working on it for the first time in a long while. Even in its neglect, though, it's remained a solid mail client, and I recommend it. 408235917 2007-04-20T08:10:48Z 80 2019-11-03T06:35:49Z Thunderbird 14264 2009-12-02T21:28:44Z http://mozilla.com/thunderbird http://wakoopa.com/software/thunderbird http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/001/931/normal.png?1238514076 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/001/931/thumb.png?1238514076 95 Mozilla http://wakoopa.com/developers/mozilla 20 Email http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/email mac win linux Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform e-mail and news client developed by the Mozilla Foundation.

Mostly, this is because everything just works, and because so many people are on there: most of my friends are on Facebook, and it's the best place to catch up on random things they're doing. I also like the fine-grained privacy controls Facebook offers, being something of a control freak, and though I don't lock much down, it's good to know the options are there. In fact, the only complaint I really have is the chat feature, which just isn't complete enough. Despite that, I expect Facebook to be one of the most useful web apps for a long time to come. 2147483647 2008-10-09T13:38:01Z 150898 2146-01-10T01:03:53Z Facebook 30232 2009-12-03T16:45:43Z http://www.facebook.com http://wakoopa.com/software/facebook-web http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/138/055/normal.png?1251211227 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/138/055/thumb.png?1251211227 35450 Facebook http://wakoopa.com/developers/facebook 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Facebook is a social networking website launched on February 4, 2004.

Then, too, it's quite stable and, I think, both faster and smaller than Firefox 2.0 was. All in all, I consider Firefox the best browser around right now. 2147483647 2007-04-18T13:21:12Z 15 2020-05-01T02:42:26Z Firefox 54508 2009-12-03T02:07:57Z http://www.mozilla.com/firefox http://wakoopa.com/software/firefox http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/764/normal.png?1250310044 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/764/thumb.png?1250310044 95 Mozilla http://wakoopa.com/developers/mozilla Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers mac win linux Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 24.07% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of October 2009, making it the second-most popular browser worldwide, after Internet Explorer, which is the factory default browser on all Windows computers. In 5 months, Firefox has gathered steam and now owns more than 25% of usage share of web browsers closing the gap between it and IE. To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements some current web standards plus a few features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include Adblock Plus, Video DownloadHelper, NoScript, Personas, FlashGot, and Greasemonkey, along with many others. Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows (version 3.5 supports Windows Vista and XP; although not officially supported as of November 2009, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7), Mac OS X (10.4 or later officially supported), most Linux distributions, and many other Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release branch is version 3.5, first released on June 30th, 2009. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL.
