Web-based RSS readers like Google reader etc. are always good when you are totally web savvy, and try to carry out everything through the browser itself, but when you use a desktop based app, the control and customization of the reader client is better than what you do in a website.

Earlier i had shared a couple apps, like NewsFire for Mac OS X and Readair which was an Adobe AIR app for mac and windows!
This is another nice and easy interface RSS reader for Windows – GreatNews

GreatNews is a desktop based RSS reader which has got all the features that one would need and expect to get the best experience in RSS feed reading on their desktop –

• This is a lighter app than others like FeedDemon or ReadAir and eats less memory space when in use
• Fast and easy updating of feeds in the reader
• Full page reading
• Different styles for reading the feeds
• Categorize news articles with labels
• Integrated internet browser, with tabs and popup blocking
• Auto-discovery of RSS feeds

More features –

• Importing of opml feeds from other feed readers is possible
• Customized search in particular feed or through the whole reader
• Offline reading of the feeds possible
• Locally saving of the feed articles possible
• You can track the comments and statistics

The only thing i didn’t like about GreatNews is the very simple and non-attractive look, otherwise the reader rocks.
