yeah, i’ve seen
netnewswire
users in my referer logs. quiet a few of them, which is impressive
considering it hasn’t been around that long. and i’ve seen the rss
reader “in action” and admired the 3-pane layout from afar. but
until today, i hadn’t bothered to download it and give it a spin.
what a nice, nice piece of software. it immediately blows away my
prejudice that somehow rss news readers “belong” in the browser.
you can browse 3-pane style and toggle a preference to view
aggregated items. smooth. i’m just guessing, but i suspect that
since
blogrolling.com
spits out
opml
, you should be able to immediately import your
blogrolling
blogroll into
netnewswire
. too bad
blogrolling.com
doesn’t import
opml
to complete the circle.
to make a good thing better,
brent mentions
that netnewswire will soon support drag-and-drop grouping of feeds.
hopefully these groups will be available via the
opml
export that’s available. if so, i could then parse that file to
produce the “grouped” blogroll that you see over to your right.
alternatively,
blogrolling.com
could support importing of “grouped” opml feeds. doubly
alternatively, i could try to hack “groups” into
amphetadesk
, which already stores subscribed channels in a format “based on”
opml
. hmmm.
