In a press release Newsgator has revealed they have over 1 million users and have passed 1.5 billion RSS articles.

Additionally they claim 10 million hits on their RSS system per day.

1 million users probably includes trial, free and used-once accounts for their various products. The 10 million hits claim also needs to be clarified as it could be per request and not per user per day e.g. It likely is not all 1 million users hitting the system 10 times a day.

All the same these are impressive figures from Newsgator and they are certainly leading the pack in enterprise and professional RSS usage.

FeedJournal lets users subscribe to RSS feeds and have a newspaper view delivered to them every morning in PDF format, ready to be printed.

The main problem with it is that it is a .NET desktop application. It also doesn’t seem to support images of any kind.
