This newsreader focuses primarily on blogs but can be a useful RSS reader, as well as a way to track changes on static sites. BlogMatrix Jager launches a window on the left side of your screen and automatically resizes your browser to fit snugly to the right. Upon launch, the program asks what included feeds you would like to display. We suggest you add them all so you won't have to create categories for your personal feeds later. From there, you can browse from a huge list of Weblogs and news items, read brief summaries, and go to the Web site if something interests you. We like the ease of browsing news sites, as well as the ability to set the time interval when checking for updates. Displaying the titles of the last five entries for our favorite Weblogs is a great perk, but our favorite feature is this application's ability to automatically add a new link to the list. Quickly dragging and dropping a link to the window makes BlogMatrix Jager find every URL (including RSS feeds) and lets you decide which ones to keep by checking the appropriate boxes. The only drawback we noticed was the absence of a dedicated viewing window. This app's comprehensive list of included feeds and automation capabilities makes it easy to recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient way to view headlines and Weblogs.Publisher's description

Version: BlogMatrix Jager 1.4.3
"Be prepared to pay something they bother you until you do."
Pros: A great program,I would have kept it and told all my friends about it. If I had to pay for it in the beginning after thirty days I would have but, to be forced every two hours is bull! I would say if they wanted money for it, they should not say it is free. To be bugged every two hours for money is crap.
Cons: Begging for money. Either charge something in the beginning or run it free for 30 days then make a fee. But, don't bother me every two hours until I drop a couple of bucks. I will not recommend this to anyone I know until they take that message out.

"Best aggregator - Search / browser option is great"
Pros: The Search/browser option is great. The ability to track links is tops. It even aggregates podcasts.
