I haven't really gotten into the RSS thing all that much yet, I've just been checking out the various apps that have been released and seeing what works best for me. So far, NewsGator is definitely up there. I love the fact that it's integrated with Outlook, which I use to get mail anyway.
The only problem that I have with it is that I can't organize my feeds into different subfolders. I've created a "News" folder which is the base folder for all of my feeds, but I don't want all of my feeds (which I imagine will get quite lengthy) to be in this same folder. Before trying NewsGator, I was playing around with NewzCrawler, and I had a very nice folder hierchary (sp) set up - which made things very easy to manage. I can't find a way to do this in NewsGator, though - I've tried changing the base folder as I add feeds, but when I tell NewsGator to go and grab the updated feeds, it uses the current base folder setting, which isn't what I want at all.
Basically, what I want to be able to do is create a folder called "Blogs" (for example), which will be in my base "News" folder, and I can tell NewsGator to put all of the feeds for my daily blog reads into this folder. There will also be a "Technology" folder in "News", where all of my tech news type feeds will go.
Am I missing something, or is this not possibly to do right now with NewsGator?
Thanks in advance,
milbertus

Actually, you can indeed do this. So right now, under your base news folder, you might have:
\Greg's Weblog
\Joe's Weblog
\CNET news
\PCWeek news
Just manually create some extra folders under your base news folder, and drag the folders around into the hierarchy you'd like. So, for example, create "Blogs" and "News", and drag the other folders into these:
\Blogs
--Greg's Weblog
--Joe's Weblog
\News
--CNET news
--PCWeek news
You can actually create any hierarchy you want, as deep as you want. As long as the folder names are unique, NewsGator will find them.
Hope this helps!

Greg,
I think I had mentioned that before. I thought that wasn't possible. If you have the a hierarchy like:
NewsGator
Greg's Weblog
That will work, so long as it's only under the root, but if you want a highly organized hierarchy like:
\NewsGator < << Base Folder
..\Priority Blogs
.....Greg's Weblog
......Joe's Weblog
..\News
.....CNET news
.....PCWeek news
It won't work.
I even tried putting the folder hierarchy into the Edit Subscription > Specific Folder edit box.
That created a subfolder called \Priority Blogs\Greg's Weblog but no folders.
You can create a folder hierarchy a deep as you like but there's no way to tell NewsGator how to put the feeds there (Any thing more than one level deep). Right?
I hope that a folder hierarchy would become possible in a future build.
[Fine print] There is a probability that my reply is misinformed ;-)

OK, I Just tried it.
It worked. I must have missed when that ability was added to the build.
