Just imagine a service, which on the one hand lets you preview any site’s RSS feed without even subscribing to it in Feedreader Online, and on the other hand helps you broaden your horizons by suggesting some alternative news sources.
Such a “quick view” service would allow you not only to check the availability or activity of a certain website’s RSS feed (to make sure it’s not broken or outdated) before adding it, but also to find and observe more feeds/news related to similar subjects. Feedreader team is on its way to launching such an instant feed observer in early 2017, so stay tuned! - Friday, January 22th, 2016

| Developer(s) | i-Systems Inc. |
|---|---|
| Stable release | 3.14 / April 20, 2009; 11 years ago[1] |

Feedreader is a free RSS and Atomaggregator for Windows. It has a stripped down, though configurable, three-pane interface similar to NetNewsWire on Mac OS X. Recent beta versions use MySQL as database back-end.
Feedreader was one of the first desktop feed readers; version 1.54 of Feedreader of the application were distributed on April 24, 2001.[2][3] The company behind Feedreader says that it was the first personal desktop RSS reader.[4]
Feedreader has an auto-discovery feature, whose purpose is to find RSS feeds on any web page and subscribe to them in an automated fashion. Moreover, the program can use keyboard shortcuts, search through one's RSS feeds, and can be run from a USB flash drive. The installation file is 4.44 MB, which is notably small for a feed reader with such features.
Ownership[edit]
In an un-dated announcement published on the Feedreader website it was stated that '...after years of successful development by i-Systems Inc. Feedreader has been acquired by a new professional and reliable developer.' However ownership of Feedreader is not disclosed on the organisation's website and it is unclear whether the service is owned by a private individual, a partnership, a corporation, or some other type of entity. Websearches carried out on 8 January 2014 did not disclose whether the owner and/or controller of Feedreader is domiciled or resident in the United States or elsewhere. The 'Contact Us' page of the company's website gives a postal address and telephone number which are shared by the operators of another website surdotly.com but this site is also silent as to its ownership. Users of feedreaders need to be aware that the operator of the reader software may have access to records of the websites from which feeds are derived and in the absence of knowledge as to who those operators might be users should be cautious about the personal profile information which the use of a feedreader may disclose to unknown parties.
