Last February 7, FastLadder team released the Open-source version for this great RSS reader. OpenFL, name by which this open version is now known, is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Integrated search, sorting system and a whole lot of options are for sure good enough reasons for you to try FastLadder.

A demo-like version is available so you can make your own judgement. Take a chance! You’ll never know when it’s time to put that Google Reader back on the shelf.

You can find a lot more info on the blog and by cruising the discussion groups. Downloads are over here.

TwitterFeed is a free online service that allows you to twitter automatically onto your Twitter account. You may think that this isn’t something new and that, for example TwitterPress plugin (for Wordpress) does exactly the same. The big and important difference is that TwitterFeed can send any RSS or Atom feed to your Twitter account.

All you have to do is:

1) Create a Twitter account (seems obvious);
2) Login into TwitterFeed with your OpenID;
3) Define which RSS or Atom feeds will feed your Twitter account.

Easy enough?.
