newsblur. That's not the answer you were looking for, since it involves a server (self hosted, freemium / paid). But it's very good - not affiliated, just a happy user. I used to use thunderbird for my rss feeds and like it a lot. However, the problems with that setup is: 1. If you have multiple machines, there is no way to synchronize what has been read. 2. If leave your machine off for any length of time, you may lose updates in that time (many sites only publish the latest 10 updates in RSS; were you flying and offline for 5 hours and 15 stories published during that time? you lost 5 of them). It was reason 2 that eventually drove me to look for alternatives.
