Sage (First Impressions)

So, I just downloaded and installed Sage, a feed aggregator designed to work within Firefox. I have some quick first impressions to share:

1. Well Designed: The aggregator is simple and its use is very intuitive. I had it installed, and got feeds added to it quickly. Just click the feed tag on the bar and off you go!
2. Quick: It is a simplified reader, and runs very quickly. It loads feeds fast, and organizes them simply as well.
3. Opens feed in browser: This is a little different. When you click a feed, it opens it in your browser window in squares all over. The unread ones appear first. Alternatively, you can view them in the sidebar, below the feed itself, but that provides no real summary.
4. Exactly what it should be: It appears that Sage is no more or less than what it should be: a simple, no-frills feed reader extension for Firefox. It really allows me to see my feeds quickly.

I am satisfied with Sage to this point. After a few more hours of use, I'll update my impressions.

Updated (11:50 a.m.): I found how to turn off the rendering in the "content pane". It makes Sage even that much more enjoyable. It only opens them in the sidebar, and you can hover over those and it will describe more of the post for you. Then, by right clicking, you can open in a new tab or whatever fits your fancy. You can mark all as read at a time and even mark all as unread. that's a nifty little benefit that you can get in the program itself. I like that.

Here's the download link (in case you wanna give it a run): Sage Download Page

Updated (5/15/08: 12:16): I just noticed Lifehacker's post on the 5 best RSS readers that went up today. Sage is amongst them. I've actually used them all, except the MacOS one, and find that Sage is by far my favorite for its ability to run from right within Firefox and the small memory imprint. It's beautiful.
