RSS Feed Reader for Outlook
For the longest time I have been using "You Subscribe" in Outlook for my RSS feeds. Last week though I discovered that it was the main reason that my computer was running slow. I found that You Subscribe was jumping in CPU usage all the way up to 70% about every minute! Also by the end of the day the memory usage was over 100MB!First thing that I tried to do was upgrade to the newest version of You Subscibe, which was called Attensa. With Attensa it used a lot less resources on the computer, but it also didn't actually pull in any feeds. I took a look through the forums and tried to fix it, but I could not get them to work.
So, I uninstalled Attensa and replaced it with a program called intraVnews. It's free for personal, education and non-profit use. I'm going to miss some of the features in Attensa, like integration with Firefox and Internet Explorer, but it didn't work, so all those features don't really matter. I will be probably be revisiting Attensa in the future so that I can use those features, but for now intraVnews seems to be working.
I'll let you know more later about how I go as I continue to work with intraVnews.
