OK folks, I figure if anyone can tell me if such a thing already exists, it's you. I love NetNewsWire like it wuz my own chillren, but it kills me that I have to
categorize all my feeds singly. This is bad. I have to decide whether danah goes into "friends" or "web 2.0" or "women
in tech." She needs to be in all of them! Does supr.c.ilio.us belong in
"friends," "web 2.0," "tech commentary" or "snark" (which, luckily, now
warrants its own category)? You see my conundrum.
Web-based readers are out for me because I track too many
feeds and performance quickly becomes an issue. Does anybody know of a desktop newsreader for the Mac that allows me to
tag my feeds and see them in multiple places? Thanks in advance!
Wanted: taggable desktop newsreader

(Page 1)2. Bloglines is a Java based reader that runs on the Mac. It is a little slow but is VERY rich feature wise (tags, smartfeeds and del.icio.us integration) my favorite feature is star ratings for individual feeds.

3. If you decide to give a web based reader a shot, feedlounge supports multiple tags.

6. I've been using BlogBridge (http://www.blogbridge.com), a java-based cross-platform, pseudo-desktop, pseudo-web (you can synchronize with their central service but it doesn't run inside a browser) reader with recommendations, collaborative filtering, tagging, and import/export with OPML. Pretty good stuff, somewhat beta, but really solidifying lately.

1. When NewsFire says it supports lables, is that functionally the same as tags? I can't remember.
