I've just finished reading a cool interview with Alex King of FeedLounge, currently one of my favourite online services. Alex stresses that FeedLounge charges so that they can grow organically, without any massive bursts of users or traffic. I'm inclined to think this is the best idea, especially with the crazy growth of FeedDigest. Perhaps 90% of my time has been spent scaling FeedDigest, as opposed to 10% on new development, and free users are the main reason for this.

If you're looking for a feed / RSS reader / aggregator then give FeedLounge a look. I use it for all of my feed reading now and it's an excellent tool. It even stopped me using the amazing NewsFire (which I'd still recommend as a desktop client on OS X). I plan to give FeedLounge a video review here sometime soon, so you can look out for that too if you're lazier :)
