Posting to Google from NetNewsWire

NetNewsWire, a superb free RSS reader for the Mac, syncs with Google Reader but doesn’t have a built-in way to share news items. I installed this AppleScript and used the Keyboard System Preference to set its keyboard shortcut to ⌥⌘S. That command normally invokes NetNewsWire’s “Add to Clippings” key, which I think really should be tied to Google Reader’s share feature. I also added “activate” before the last line of the script to bring Safari to the front when I share an item.

NetNewsWire 2 for iPhone

A new version of NetNewsWire for the iPhone is out, free (with ads) or $2 “premium edition” (no ads). It syncs with Google Reader. Recommended.

NetNewsWire Syncs with Google Reader

The newest beta version of the best desktop RSS client, NetNewsWire, now syncs with Google Reader. More surprisingly, they are going to discontinue NewsGator Online (which I never liked), and are referring people to Google Reader. What’s so cool about the syncing is that if you, like me, want to be able to use NNW at home on your Mac but use a PC at work, you can keep switch to Google Reader very easily and not miss anything.

(Personally, I’ve been dabbling with Fever lately and may get around to writing up a review of it soon.)

NetNewsWire Now Free

NetNewsWire, the best RSS reader client for the Mac, is now free. I use Google Reader myself, but only because I don’t have the option of using Macs all the time.

I’m using BD Aqua Floating as my current NNW stylesheet. I love it.
