A directory of RSS newsreaders.
The first one that I clicked on, Reptile, really resonates with me. Here's some of it's cool features:
-Reptile clients cache content. If the news feed is down, you can fetch it from your peers.
-a reputation system for any object, be it an entire channel or an individual article. (Wow, I wonder how the content on DayPop would change if everyone who used a newsreader and ranked articles influenced the top 40 instead of just a few thousand influential blogs)
Plus the author seems to be pretty smart and influential. I like the idea of having GUIDs in RSS articles, it would make them uniquely addressable (and P2P searchable) and support my idea for a discussion tool (Usenet2?) that has conversations centered around / started with a piece of publically available content.
