Onfolioh No!

Man, what a tragedy. Early last week, when I had permission problems, I also found out that Firefox was updated.

Unfortunately, when Firefox updated, it broke Onfolio. Of course, you can still get it for the Windows Live Toolbar(tm), but who wants to use that?

I was an early adopter of Onfolio and I championed it quite a bit. I'm the type of guy who won't shuttup about good software. Feel free to Goog for "Onfolio site:misterorange.com" and watch the raves.

Hell, I even have a quote on their Customer Profiles Page.

Well, after a week of no Onfolio, I was suffering mightily. I'll suffer through Internet Explorer if it's what I have to do to get a decent feed reader.

Last week I also dropped in on Phonecon 2006, where I asked them what feed readers they use. Bloglines came up, as well as Sage. I had tried Sage a loooong time ago, and Bloglines I had signed up for at one point.

However, the benefit of Onfolio is twofold: First, it downloads feeds for me on a regular interval, which can be adjusted per-feed or per-folder, and secondly it has the amazing newspaper layout which lets you bounce through stories one after another.

And after a week, there is nothing out there better. Microsoft may be the Great Evil Empire, but they recognize good software. Worse, the awesome software now no longer works with Firefox and of course MS has no intention of updating it.

Ugh. I hate using Internet Explorer so much it's ridiculous. The security holes, the lack of mouse gestures, tabs...

And seriously, if you haven't tried mouse gestures, get them now. Even my wife has begun using them, and that says quite a bit for the non-geeks out there.

Use em for a week, and try to live without them. Worse, try to use IE and not find yourself trying to use them over and over until you go "Oh, yeah, this browser sucks."

Grr. The things I do for good software.
