Cool Tools – 7

I have been trying out i-Fetch-information fetcher, a feed reader and aggregation programme, from our client Ideafarms that allows users to read RSS feeds (Atom and Rdf formats too) on the desktop.
The programme has some interesting features:

  1. An ‘integrated browser’ opens web pages inside the reader…
  2. While ‘Auto discovery’ ensures that I don’t have to click any additional buttons to look for RSS feeds
  3. Save a feed as a ‘Channel’ under the selected ‘Channel Group’
  4. The reader allows users to view ‘Articles’ by category; author; published; source; flagged; title; read…
  5. When I like something? I simply move it into ‘Archives’ for future reference – I find this quite useful
  6. The feature I love most however is ‘Watches’ which allows users to track conversations by keyword so all articles from feeds collected that have a certain or a set of keywords get separated under a given watch. I can add as many as I like…

Check it out! You can download i-Fetch here!

    Thanks Rajesh for your post and thanks to your admin guys for letting my post show. Thanks guys!
    I am sure Rajesh you can answer your own question, look a little further than the help file (BTW, that's all that you've posted).
  • Hi Rajesh,
    I googled my way to your blog. You got a nice blog there.
    I was referred to i-Fetch by a senior buddy & I've been using i-Fetch for quite sometime, its a pretty cool application.
    Keep posting Rajesh.

    Well i have been using i-fetch for long time and my experience with this application is quite fantasic.
    Its up to all my regular requirements.
  • Oops. If you said why, I could pass your feedback to the i-Fetch team and am sure they would be happy to hear how they could improve the product. Tech is such a relative thing - one person likes, another doesn't :).
