1241. Like many Mac users, I was thrilled to find out that NetNewsWire is now freeware. While I loves me my RSS, actually buying a feed reader has been a bit impractical, budgets being what they are.
And I've tried web-based readers but for some reason I like using applications resident on my home machine for such things. I like the illusion of ownership that I get – I know it's just as ephemeral as anything delivered through a browser, but browsers, amazingly enough, still (after all this time – WTF?) don't work on every site.
When I found out by word-of-web that NNW is now free, I went immediately to the website to download and try out. I didn't know that it not only reads your feeds (and makes it dead simple to subscribe) but also functions as a decent, basic web browser, meaning you only have to go to the default browser (which, with me, would ideally be the bastard child of Firefox and Safari) when you gots to.
I am officially in love with NNW, and thank you, Newsgator, for this belated Chi-mas gift!

Oh, awesome. I've used the Lite version for ages anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis sure is some slick application, that's for sure. It's part RSS reader, part browser-really clever graphically and the UI is about as intuitive as they get.
