Fans of desktop RSS readers, rejoice! Newsgator, the company behind NetNewsWire for Mac and FeedDemon for Windows, has updated and released all its desktop and mobile RSS readers for free. NetNewsWire and FeedDemon are highly regarded and generally considered the best RSS aggregators that money can buy--and now, you don't have to pay anything for them.
All NewsGator's personal products are free now, including FeedDemon for Windows, NetNewsWire for Mac, NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices, NewsGator Inbox for Outlook, and NewsGator Online (its Web-based offering). NetNewsWire and FeedDemon were also updated to new versions, which NewsGator claims include improvements in stability and functionality.
The biggest selling points for NetNewsWire and FeedDemon have been their ability to work with the speed, simplicity, and customization options of a desktop client, but still remain connected to NewsGator's servers so you could access your preferences and feeds remotely. This way, you have the ability to choose when you refresh your feeds, manage your feeds on one computer and have the settings filter down to all the other clients you use, and still log in to NewsGator Online to read your feeds. FeedDemon, for example, is so robust that it earned an Editor's Choice award when FeedDemon 2.0 was released.
NewsGator has promised to continue updating and developing its desktop and individual products, even though they're now free. The company will instead turn its focus to its enterprise offerings, including its Enterprise Server platform, its widget framework and social networking software for Microsoft Sharepoint. The company is aiming to bring the success its had in the end-user market to the corporate arena.
