I use NetNewsWire desktop client on all my Macs, the great iPhone webapp on my iPhone and the regular webapp when on other peoples computers. It gives me the best of both worlds between full desktop applications (which I still prefer) and web based access when needed. I echo the comments on Newsgator.

I am travelling at the moment so have sporadic connectivity so the ability to just sync up my feeds quickly and then be able to read them offline is a real boon for a web based reader that I can access from any PC if using an Internet Cafe for example.

I wish NetNewsWire had automatic clipping with Evernote. Google Reader would work because it is browser-based. I am sticking with NetNewsWire for now as I love the functionality. Maybe Evernote will come up with a clip feature for NNW. In the meantime, cutting and pasting is working fine.

It syncs between my 3 macs & iPhone (even has an iPhone specific version), & there's also web & Windows versions (although I haven't tried the windows version). I used to use Newshutch (web reader) but that's been discontinued. I tried Google Reader which wasn't too bad (especially <a href="http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/google-reader-theme" rel="nofollow">Jon Hicks' theme</a>), but missed some of the features NetNewsWire offers.
