BlogExpress

Overview

BlogExpress is a full-featured .NET application for content syndication (as also called a news aggregator or a blog reader).

BlogExpress is so easy to use. Lockergnome praises it as “BlogExpress stands out as an invaluable tool for those getting started with RSS. “ It is carefully designed for high usability. Information readability is one of our primary goals for building this application. Proudly, the result comes out such that you can grab information displayed in BlogExpress faster than other leading content syndication applications in the market.

Additionally, BlogExpress has a built-in Web Tab feature in which you can use it to view any Web pages directly without leaving BlogExpress for a Web browser. This feature saves you some seconds for each link you click to view. Those seconds in a long run are hours of your time that you get back from using BlogExpress.

For a blog writer, you can open a Web Tab to post to your server-based blog tool (such as Movable Type, Blogger.com, BlogSpot.com or AOL Journal). No need for a separate Web browser window to clutter your desktop anymore!

In sum, BlogExpress help you manage more information from the Web with less time!
