In July I wrote about Tris Hussey's experience getting in RSS in Outlook 2007. He gave the beta of Outlook 2007 a try and came back to Outlook 2003 with X1 for search and Attensa for Outlook as his RSS reader. A day doesn't go by when we don't get asked about the differences between reading RSS in Outlook using Attensa versus the Outlook 2007 experience. The short answer is there's a huge difference. Here's the short list...

Attensa for Outlook has:

River of News with AttentionStream prioritization

Persistent search across 18 search engines

Outlook player for podcasts and video and automatic playlist support for iTunes and Windows Media Player

Built-in tagging with del.icio.us synchronization

Auto feed discovery with preview for Firefox and IE

Browse, preview and select from 2000 feeds without leaving Attensa in Outlook

Deep connectivity with the Attensa Feed Server and the Microsoft Common Feed Platform

Attensa for Outlook 2.0 is available now and it's free. You can download Attensa for Outlook  here.

We plan to support Outlook 2007 when it comes out of beta. Here's a detailed look at the differences between Attensa for Outlook 2.0 and Outlook 2007.
