It's been a while since I regularly used and indeed paid for NetNewsWire, I have since tried various online feed readers, toyed with the pay-for (and I think now deceased) FeedLounge then finally started using GReader and to the best of my knowledge NetNewsWire doesn't sync with GReader. None-the-less it is good to hear that NetNewsWire 3.1 is free. Yay!

I like big RSS..
Theres a great podcast on TalkCrunch with a discussion between executives on 4 major online feed readers: NewsGator, Attensa, Rojo and Feedlounge. I had a look at a few online feed readers a while ago and I settled on Feedlounge as a good migration from NetNewsWire. In my eyes Feedlounge certainly gives the best user experience: the liberal use of AJAX means no page refresh; none of the other readers seem to do the 3 pane thing or render the pages as well as Feedlounge (Alex mentions that he came from NetNewsWire and I think it shows), its just unfortunate that you have to pay for this usability and that it doesnt yet sync with NetNewsWire, Id really like to see the usability of Feedlounge with the functionality of the NewsGator and NetNewsWire combo (free would be nice too, certainly cheaper). All 4 discuss the future of their respective readers and the future certainly looks rosy, I for one shall be keeping an eye on these an any more which might turn up.

What a load of RSS
I have spent the last couple of days playing with a few web based news readers/aggregators. My reason for this? Well, I use NetNewsWire and am very happy with it, but Id like to be able to read my subscriptions anywhere and not have to deal with re-reading stories. To that end, what follows are my potted reviews and experiences with some of the options I found, in no particular order. All feeds were imported from an OPML file created by exporting my feeds from NetNewsWire with groups entact.
