RSS feeds and LiveJournal

[Heidi]

I've been working on some RSS projects this week for FictionAlley.org
- we just launched our big RSS, which includes all uploads and updates
of fics and essays on the site (
http://forums.fictionalley.org/fics/rss/ ) - so I've been looking at
RSS readers for the first time.

For the last 2+ years, I've read feeds via my LiveJournal friendslist
- you can even get HPFGU's announcements list via
http://www.livejournal.com/users/hpfgu_an_y/ - so I've never explored
other RSS readers. It still feels a bit like Pointcast of Ye Olde
Days, when I could get Headlines And News in my Screen Saver, though,
so I thought I'd ask and see what others were using. And does anyone
use the LJ aggregator who doesn't use LJ regularly as well?

PS - the new FA RSS on LiveJournal is at
http://www.livejournal.com/friends/add.bml?user=fictionalleyorg and it
should be updated in the next few hours
