Protopage feed reader

After using Protopage.com for two months I can now highly recommend it to anyone looking for a web based feedreader that combines all the sites, comics, and podcasts you visit daily into a single page that can be opened anywhere you have access to a Computer with an internet connection.
I’ve been looking for a simple and good feed reader. This is the most interesting one I’ve found.
If you go to Protopage.com it’ll generate you a page with a whole bunch of windows already open. This is the only downside because I like to start from a clean slate so I had to manually delete everything before added my own feeds. Also the example has “gravity” turned off so it’s messy, which annoys me.
But after playing around I think I got it down to a simple reader that might improve the way you get information. Lets look at it after I cleaned it up

The podcast feeds with a podcast playing at the top of the browser.
A feed open with the Podcast control over the top.
The feed reader I’ve been using daily will be useful for not only organizing my feeds so that I can access them from both of my machines without having to do further work, but also so I can access them from work or school. The Podcasting feature is exciting if I don’t have my laptop and want to listen to them remotely.
I suggest checking it out, it’s not only the best feedreader I’ve used so far it is also the best looking and the easiest to use. The fact that it’s a web based application makes it all that more useful as it works multi-platform and can be accessed from anywhere.
