I definitely believe into Google Reader, which is so well connected with the rest of the google suite, that now that I’m a bit more into reading rss, I can’t switch to another one. I can also have the google reader directly on my iPhone, which is also very comfortable to use. I’ll probably have a look on this newsgator, especially now that is available on Mac.

[...] Web Worker Daily has been covering Newsgator’s decision to release its consumer products for free: As you may have heard, this afternoon NewsGator announced that all of their desktop/mobile client applications are now freeware. NetNewsWire (see our review) and FeedDemon are well regarded as the best-in-class for all things RSS in a desktop application..now without a price tag. Loyal fans are cheering that the company has abandoned their ‘buy the software and get a free subscription’ model in favor of different ways of raising revenue (including abandoning all but web forum support options).

personally I think its too late, GoogleReader et al are too far out in front. Also given that most of the folks who use things like RSS readers like having that info available from anywhere, it gives a huge legup to browser based solutions.

The other day I exported all my feeds from NNW and imported them to Google Reader. Googles lack of support for sub-folders, and auto-refreshing of all feeds meant that I had over 200 articles instead of just 20. I’ll stick with NNW which itself syncs with the online service at Newsgator.com

Also I’m skint, my trial just ended and I was to buy NNW, so great timing!
