Although I favored Outlook-based solutions in the past (RSS News Reader Auditions), I decided to use a standalone application when I started dogfooding Office 2007. I downloaded and tried many of the usual suspects over the course of a weekend. I forget how I found it, but I downloaded and tried Newzie, which seemed quite different than most of the other alternatives. I've been using it ever since. 

Newzie is more than a simple news aggregator. It offers different ways of monitoring things; it presents retrieved content in different shapes; it enables you to reach desired content fast. And all these interactions happen thru an exclusive user interface that you haven't tasted yet in any other software application.
