Feedly is an outstanding piece of software, and it is free. (info/news aggregate/feed)

Been using it on my Android based phone.

Also available for most browsers.

Love it!

An assumed scale of 7 puts you at least 5 over me then

Truly, we have categories suitable for every ability level.  We also have a great support structure available to ease new editors into the review process should they need it.

Please use the "reviewer" button which is located in the box at the top of our main site pages to apply. You will need to register first if you are not already a member.

Can you also mention that you saw this on Radio Paradise, then I will intercept your application.

Once received I'll send you an introductory letter and a slide show in PDF format which give a lot more detail about what's involved.

Look forward to hearing from you.

i don't have a lot of expertise in geek.

on a scale of one to ten, five being average, i'm probably a 7 or so (took a network engineering course sometime back)

is there a shot for someone like me with limited time and knowledge to help or contribute in any way?

i have definitely benefited from your site techsupportalert.com
 
and would like to give back or participate if possible.

Yes, Leslie it does, although not in a dedicated section, apart from the forum.

This is an area we badly need to develop further but as yet have not been able to attract the volunteers to do it.

The same applied to Linux until a while ago but now this is moving ahead quickly and attracting a lot of traffic.

If you are unable to help us directly but would like to make some suggestions, please list them here and I'll follow them through.

Does your freeware review site include Macintosh freeware?

Thanks again guys

Like many volunteer driven sites currently, we are struggling to fill vacant categories with editors. If anyone reading this would like to take one on, please visit our site, check out the list of those available in the side "needing editors" link and then apply using the "reviewer" link at the top of the page.

We have editors ranging in age from 15 to past retirement. You don't need a degree in IT to write a successful review, just a passion about freeware and a desire to share your experiences with others.

 It's a site that could help anyone in the RP community.

well if they have your stamp of approval and they listen to RP, they've got to be cool.

Like Bill we share a loathing of advertising although with our escalating popularity we've recently had to introduce a few discreet Google ads to help cover server costs.
