Nick Bradbury: Coming soon: super-fast synching in FeedDemon: "The way the current beta of FeedDemon 2.0 works, synchronized feeds are downloaded just like non-synched feeds: when it's time to update them, FeedDemon checks each feed for changes. But our sync API makes this unnecessary: instead of downloading every feed, I can just ask NewsGator which feeds have changed since the last update, and then download only those feeds. As you can imagine, this makes updating your feeds a whole lot faster - so much so that even if you don't need to keep your subscriptions synchronized between computers, you'll probably still want to use the sync features to take advantage of the huge speed boost."

Tangent: the "newspaper"-style view of feeds in IE7 appears to be almost identical to the view model in FeedDemon 2.0. I still prefer a dedicated feed viewer, in any case.
