Another Newsreader Goes Free

ScreenshotPossibly feeling the pressure from the giveaway of the NewsGator client applications, Mac OS X RSS reader NewsFire is now free.

NewsFire enjoys a reputation as the most beautiful of the OS X newsreaders, so this will be good news for those who like the shiny operating system. The question, though, remains the same as we posed in our coverage of the earlier giveaway: can any client-side newsreader make serious market inroads against online alternatives like Google Reader these days?
