Mac Feed Reader Market has Changed
Brad and I read with interest the article and, more importantly, the comments at this TUAW post. PulpFiction was mentioned once in the first sixty comments, and that was for its labels - something almost no other feed reader offers, despite having nearly two years since PulpFiction’s release to implement them.

One of PulpFiction’s persistent nagging features was its speed. We know this, and for the most part, we know why it was slow.
And for now, that’s all we have to say about that.

Something that I had envisioned would be the caching of the stored content so that it could be viewed off-line. One could load up couple hundred unread articles to read when traveling through WiFi-less (or WiFi-Not-Free) airports, etc…
Just musing…
