NewsMac...

“NewsMac(NewsMac)”:http://www.thinkmac.co.uk/newsmac/index.html I’m trying out another news aggregator called NewsMac today. Version 3.1 was just released and I’m utterly astonished to find that it doesn’t read Atom feeds. (I mean, nearly everything is able to read Atom these days.) I’ve also found that NewsMac — as with most aggregators out there — doesn’t have an OPML backup feature. (The new version of NetNewsWire is supposed to (as well the abilty to read Atom feeds.)

Still, NewsMac seems like a very robust reader that has some amazing organizational aspects. It’s setup with an easy-to-read, five-pane GUI and displays images, links, and proper formatting. It does not read CSS, though, which s a bummer.

One of the coolest features of NewsMac is it’s ability to sync effortlessly with Palm and other handheld devices. This alone is a valuable asset.

NewsMac is definitely a great aggregator for anyone who loves their OSX interface and would like something that syncs their favorite Blog and news feeds to their Palm. Hopefully, later versions will incorporate some of the more elegant features that some of us “power-users” require.

uh… 10-4 good buddy on the 411. the flux copacitor operates on half the giggiwats if you use ASCAP on the X-wing fighter’s board. Hal will have a powerpoint presentation in a galaxy far, far away regarding OPML.
