SubscribeZhuaxia: An Ajax RSS Reader
Zhuaxia (抓虾) is a newly launched Chinese online rss reader powered by ajax technology. The rss reader market is somewhat crowded, nonetheless it is hard to find awesome Chinese online rss readers. Though Zhuaxia was just launched ten days ago, and it still have much room for features improvement, I’m really impressed by some notable features.
You don’t have to register to use Zhuaxia, of course, if you register an account, it is more reliable than the cookies. To some extent, Zhuaxia is very similar to Rojo, with its ajax stuffs, expand/collapse post content. Zhuaxia even has a Rojo’s mojo-like feature for users to digg the blog posts when reading to make it show up in its most popular page.
Zhuaxia has a two pane format, but just in one click, you can show or hide the left pane which is the list of the feeds you subscribed. And with its ajax application, you can add and edit feeds or folders, subscribe to feeds from its directory and flag the posts in real time without any page refresh.
Zhuaxia still lacks some some must-have functions, such as opml import and export. And I’d like to add tagging features as rojo’s. But as a new comer to this market, Zhuaxia has a good start, I think.
