It is day two at the Blog Business Summit in Seattle, and I am now listening to Scott Nieson of Attensa.  Scott’s out of Portland, OR, too, and he and I have been bumping into each other at all sorts of events over the years.  Craig Barnes founded Attensa, which makes a great RSS feed reader.  I worked for Craig at Now Software in the early 90’s.  In Portland, it’s a small, small technology world.  Craig has a great blog on RSS, by the way. 

I’ve used Attensa for Outlook, which is free, and it is a great way to stay in touch with your RSS feeds.  It pops your feeds right into your Outlook file, in folders that it automatically populate.  So you can read your feeds on the go.  And, Tris Hussey just reminded me, it cleans up feeds after I’ve read them, which is the very coolest thing. 

Check Attensa out if you’re looking for an elegant solution to managing your RSS feeds.
