Times - a pretty RSS reader for the Mac

I am still looking for a nice RSS reader solution.  Right now, Netvibes is what I use to view my RSS feeds.  A few weeks ago, I bought the MacHeist Bundle, which included Times, an RSS reader application for Mac.  

I read good things about Times, and I was quite excited.  I also took the time to look at and decide which feeds are must reads.  I realized I have quite a lot of feeds to go though, and it's taking too much time (although it's interesting and great when you don't really want to do any work...)  So I narrowed down the feeds and settled down with the following:

• Engadget
  
• TUAW 
  
• VentureBeat
  
• TechCrunch
  
• LA Times
  
• CNN
  
• Yahoo! News: Entertainment
  
• NYT: Movies
  

Using Times

So I thought I set up these feeds in Times, and read it in Times every morning.  I'll save Netvibes for coffee breaks =)  So I set up the feeds and put them in two pages (tabs) - Tech and News.  

Good parts:

• It looks great (check out the screen shot above).  The presentation is great.
  
• Right click on an article and you could post to Twitter, Delicious, Digg, and share on FaceBook
  
• There's also a "mail article" feature where it'll open up Mail, compose a message with the article.  
  

Places for improvement:

• When you start up Times, it takes sometimes for it to update all the feeds.  Meanwhile, it stills shows you the feeds from before.  Sometimes I forget it needs to load, and I would think that there seem to be no new entries, and I'd close it.  In Netvibes, it first displays loading for every feeds, and when it's done I know I'm looking at the latest.  But it's minor and I could live with this.  
  
• From time to time, switching tabs seems to be a bit sluggish considering I only have two tabs.

iPhone app that can sync with the desktop version

Lastly...

Times is $30 to purchase.  Personally, I feel it's a bit pricy for that price.  However, it definitely makes reading feeds a much more pleasant experience.  Definitely give it a test drive and see if this is your thing.   (I think you can try it out before your purchase.)
