Reeder makes a successful leap from iOS to Mac

by TJ Luoma (Jun 15th, 2011)

When I heard that Reeder for Mac was being developed, I was thrilled. Ever since I had moved to Google Reader, I had been looking for a Mac app which was more compelling to use than the web interface. Reeder for iPad (US$5) was so good that I used it almost exclusively. Could Reeder make the ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Jun 1st, 2011)

Getting old technology to do new things in a creative way is fun.

by Erica Sadun (Sep 17th, 2010)

Dear Auntie TUAW, I'll admit it... I'm a news junkie. Podcasts, RSS feeds, the works! RSS feeds are what I am wondering about today. You see, I like to skim my RSS headlines, read the feed items that catch my eye, and not have any items automatically delete or disappear. My current setup is ...
