X-BlogBridge

X-BlogBridge is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you group your RSS news feeds and generate statistics.

The application is the portable counterpart of BlogBridge, which means you can deploy it on your system without having to go through installation steps. You can copy it on portable media devices like USB flash drives and carry it with you.

The GUI looks straightforward and easy to work with. Several tooltips are revealed in the main window for helping you view general details about the program’s capabilities.

All categories are displayed in the main window, along with details about the feeds and articles. You can arrange the feed groups in the desired order by moving them up or down.

You are allowed to create a new feed category by specifying the title, icon and feeds, keep reading lists, which are collections of feeds maintained by another party, and enable notifications.

You may import feeds and subscriptions from OPML files or URLs, add data from Bloglines account, export the feeds information to OPML file format, update all group feeds with a single click, as well as mark as read/unread the selected group.

X-BlogBridge gives you the possibility to subscribe to a feed, create a smart feed that collects articles that meet certain criteria, delete feeds, view feed properties, as well as rate them.

What’s more, you can make the application show all articles or only the unread or pinned ones, adjust the view mode (headlines, brief excerpts, or full text), and change the text size.

X-BlogBridge helps you perform searches, view hot feeds for the current day or week, and generate graphs in order to check out information about the articles read by hour or day, most visited or read feed groups, and most pinned feeds.

A cleanup wizard lets you get rid of the feeds that you no longer read using different filters, such as articles are older than a custom number of days and feeds have a low rating.

X-BlogBridge integrates a powerful suite of features and delivers a straightforward layout where you can manage your RSS feeds.
