I’m using Fever for a few weeks now, and I quite like it. It’s a beatifull app, for sure. But it’s only very usefull to get a list of posts that appear in multiple blog you subscribed to.

It’s pretty useful for very busy people with a lot of feeds in their list. It’s not if you just follow 50 or less blogs.

You could see Fever as some sort of charts, but then from rss/we content.

I understand your point. However Fever still lets you see the original content you always wanted to see not just the popular stuff. The point of fever is so you can subscribe to a mass amount of feeds and be able to keep track of whats popular online. Through the Kindling section you can still keep track of the feeds you want to . This app just gives you the versatility to subscribe to more than humanly possible in a normal reader.

I understand the desire and in some cases the need for such a tool, but it is indeed a sad sight for the more obscure content producers. But then, I guess it was bound to happen, as this is the case with music, television and books, too. When will people learn that what’s popular isn’t necessarily what’s best? (Note: This isn’t to say that all things popular are bad, because that isn’t true, either.)

Really nice review / introduction to fever,

The application looks really well put together with all its features, but to me it doesnt say “you need this” especially for $30 i could goto delicious popular to sees whats hot!

Id love to see the google vs fever review in the future tho, should be intresting, good stuff.

Super informative post! I though fever seemed a little gimmicky at first, but I might actually give it a shot. The iPhone version is just a great plus.

Awesome post, thanks!

I have been a google reader user for years and this is the first thing that actually makes a stab at beating it. (haven’t gotten used to it fully so I can’t say its beat it yet.) But the comparison will have unbiased factual information. Not me ranting :) Then you can make your own informed decision as to what to do.

Looks very interesting. I don’t think I could justify paying $30 for an rss reader though, especially one I have to set up and host myself. I look forward to your comparison between Fever and Google Reader.
