I was looking around a while for a nice RSS feed reader that would work like an IM client. That is, something lightweight that would sit in the system tray until I wanted it, would be easy to customize the console view, look great, and only show the text of the feed - I don’t need yet another browser applicati0n.

And I found it: KlipFolio.

klipfolio

Looks great, can be skinned, and has cool modules to do things like check weather, GMail, and ftp servers. They have their own “klip” format to encapsulate feeds. Which is good and bad - the bad is it looks more like a closed system. The good is that adding feeds through their klipfarm.com is as easy as clicking a link - and the klip modules allow you to make setting changes on a per-feed basis - awesome. They also have modules to include generic RSS feeds, so you can pretty much do what you like. No autodiscovery function - but the light weight of this more than makes up for it.
