For those who might be interested, until recently I was using Sauce Reader to read my RSS feeds and publish to my blog. Last week I decided to switch to FeedDemon and w.bloggar.
I know Bradsoft (maker of FeedDemon) as been acquire by NewsGator and this could mean ... well in fact I'm not sure what it will mean. The fact is that since the version 2.0 of Sauce Reader I'm unable to publish to my blog (blogger) with the builtin tool and that was the main reason for me to use it.
After a week of extensive use I'm quite happy with the FeedDemon/w.bloggar combo and I even plan to uninstall Sauce Reader in the next days.

If SAS technology continues to move forward as anticipated and works as expected, its prospects seem bright. According to John Monroe, a research vice president at Gartner, despite the strength of Fibre Channel and SATA technology, SAS should be the most prevalent multivolume hard-disk-drive interface by 2007. By 2009, he predicts, it should account for about 40 percent of the market.

Sauce Reader v2.0 is now available for download. Sauce Reader 2.0 includes the features you loved, and is now one of the fastest and memory efficient RSS readers available! Features include:
- Office 2003 style user interface.
- Integrated weblog posting with drafts and offline authoring.
- Comment feed subscriptions, archiving, posting and search.
- One-click subscription to RSS and Atom feeds using IE toolbar.
- Search archived items using Sauce Reader or desktop search tools.
- Feeds tree and newspaper style views.
- Fast, small and scalable to your reading requirements.
Sauce Reader v1 users will have their data automatically migrated upon installation of Sauce Reader v2.0. Registered Sauce Reader v1 users are being granted a free upgrade to Sauce Reader v2, simply enter your existing license key. Sauce Reader v1 and v2 will run side-by-side if required.
Sauce Reader 2.0 is a complete rewrite and no longer requires the .NET framework. Using .NET for Sauce Reader v1 we were never able to achieve the level of performance we considered appropriate for a heavily used productivity application. .NET is a compelling and powerful platform, but currently unsuitable for widely adopted client side applications.
