NetNewsWire starts syncing with Google Reader, NewsGator Online perishes

Grant: because i'm using already Byline for a small set of feeds on my phone, and i don't want my large set of desktop feeds lumped into that; i did say "if" ... there's a chance the new NNW will manage this all nicely, but with all the gotchas (problems with folders, disappearance of clippings) just being diligent before switching over is going to be quite a bother

I hate that I was not warned that I would lose my over 500 clipplings!!!

I used that to flag things for later review or later blogging. Now their gone. I didn't flag them because they were in that folder.

Thanks NNW for warning us before you erased them all! :(

Not having all my data saved at google was actually one of the upsides for me - and I hoped for notification support, I dubt that will happen with Google.

Also will it still be possible to define multiple locations with different feeds available?

I use Google Reader (as a Fluid app) with the "Mac OSX Snow Leopard" stylesheet installed: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/53810

This, along with Byline for the iPhone is awesome and I'll have a hard-time justifying switching back to NNW ever!

I love the interface of the current NNW. The new beta version is too 'new' for me. I dislike Google Reader. Vienna doesn't sync with iPhone. Why the heck can't everything be smoooooooooth? ;)

In other news, for those wanting to switch out of NNW, you should give NewsFire a look! It's pretty good too, and an iPhone app will be coming soon!

Sad. I don't want to be forced to give Google any more dollars, nor any more information about me (same difference), nor set up yet another damn account. So NNW is history.

I'd like these features:

-no Googleplex requirement
-sync btw Mac and iPhone
-folders to organize feeds
-clipping/flag system that is reliable

but I haven't found anything yet that'll do it.

Maybe this is the tipping point for me. I spend a lot of time reading blogs, so perhaps this means I should just give up the firehose of information.

Ollicle Reflex: autosizing images to fit the pane. Just the best idea ever.

There is a relatively easy way to kill the adverts in the new NetNewsWire. Having said that, I like the look of Vienna and think I'll be switching to that shortly.

Whining = complaining and not doing something about it. The ads suck and this is a nasty case of bait and switch. I am not whining. I am stating a complaint, deleting NNW from my machine and moving (back) to Vienna.
