NetNewsWire 2.0 and Bloglines

Wow. I downloaded the new version of NetNewsWire the other day and have been playing around with it. Trying to see if I can fit it into my existing reading workflow. I imported my Bloglines OPML list and then I noticed “New Special Subscription” in the “File” menu. Wow, they have created a way to synchronize with Bloglines. It’s not only smart enough to download your Bloglines subscription list, but to keep in sync with it and to not import duplicate subscriptions. That is one of the main reasons that I never used a client based aggregator. I always ended up having to mark items that I had already read in Bloglines as ‘read’ in whatever client RSS aggregator I was using.

The simple fact that Ranchero Software acknowledges there are other applications that do the same thing as their software and that users might want to use both sold me. I bought both NetNewsWire and Marsedit.
