NetNewsWire was one of the first desktop RSS readers on any platform when it first appeared publicly on July 12, 2002. Version 1.0 was released on February 11, 2003, and version 2.0 was released in May 2005. NetNewsWire's features include the ability to create custom feed views, custom downloading and opening of podcasts, synchronization of feeds and feed status between computers, Bloglines support, and a built-in tabbed browser. In October 2005, NewsGator bought Ranchero and NetNewsWire, bringing their NewsGator Online RSS synchronization service to OS X. NetNewsWire 3.0 was released on June 5, 2007. The version added Spotlight indexing of news items, integration with iCal, iPhoto, Address Book, and VoodooPad, Growl support, a new user interface, performance enhancements, and more. NetNewsWire Lite, a version of NetNewsWire without some advanced features of the (then commercial) version, was available as an unrestricted free download up until the release of NetNewsWire 3.1. There is now an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows people with an account on NetNewsWire to see their feeds and clippings on the iPhone or iPod Touch. It can be downloaded for free in the App Store on iTunes. It was released on the same day as the App Store and syncronises automatically each time it is opened on the iPhone or iPod Touch, the same as on Mac. |
