# ThinkMac Software - NewsLife is an RSS reader. 700K. Works, modulo a few small quirks. In beta testing now. I liked it a little better than NetNewsWire and NewsFire. I'd like to have the ability to save a window's feeds in a file for opening later, and have multiple windows of feeds open simultaneously. Then I could easily separate my political feeds from my Mac feeds. NewsLife does allow organization with folders, but I'd rather have separate windows. $20. Beta appears to be limited only by startup and shutdown nag screen. [google]

# Google Reader is a Web 2.0 RSS reader. As is usual for Google, it rocks. And it's free. Unlike the local client readers, it lets you view all new items and scroll through them without clicking on anything. And it's available from any modern internet-connected computer on the planet. But it can't fix the problem that some of the news sites I like don't have RSS feeds, and some of those that do use a feed service that isn't always up-to-date. google-reader.xml is an OPML file you can import into Google Reader for the Mac-related news feeds I'm currently using.
