RSS isn't dead. The proof is the never ending supply of RSS clients on the WP7 marketplace. Rss is a perfect way to channel all the scattered information available on the internet, truly saves you from the information overload syndrome. If you are a fan of RSS, we have something special for you. We have compiled a list of Best 5 RSS / Google Reader clients available on the Windows Phone 7 marketplace. More after the break.
Note - The list is in no particular order, mind you.
1. NextGen Reader : NextGen reader is one of the best looking and probably the fastest RSS Reader client available on the marketplace. It is essentially a Google Reader client. Connect your Google account to the application and will seamlessly sync all your feeds and folders and let's you do a whole lot of stuff with it. Personally, being an avid Google reader user - I keep this pinned this on my homepage. Only thing missing is a live tile alert alert which would be nifty and toast notification alert when unread counter passes more than a certain limit. That would be pretty cool ( This suggestion applies to all the applications listed below ).

3. Flux : Flux is one of the first RSS Reader client on the marketplace. Flux offers a unique way to browse your subscriptions with an interesting tile like approaching to display feeds.
