This is a dramatic difference in functionality. This means that hitting refresh in NetNewsWire can take minutes as it has to check each feed for an update - whereas hitting refresh in with FeedWrangler will take seconds as it just has check with one server for updates because the FeedWrangler servers have already polled the RSS feeds. Whereas with services like FeedWrangler a server sitting in the proverbial cloud is polling those services. The biggest difference with NetNewsWire and most RSS services is that your Mac or iPhone is the device polling the RSS feeds for updates. (For comparison, here’s what Reeder 3 beta looks like.)Īnd then on September 6th I got fed up and switched back to FeedWrangler. I didn’t even bother to try it before buying the iPhone and Mac version and making the switch over to it.

On September 3rd, Black Pixel announced that NetNewsWire 4 was out. While FeedWrangler isn’t the prettiest offering, it is the fastest, and it is damn reliable. A while back I went through the plethora of great RSS services before deciding on FeedWrangler + Reeder + Unread. For quite sometime that was Fever, a self-hosted RSS reader, but that too started to get long in the tooth. But years of stagnation meant I had to try other services. It was quite something, and so it took a lot for me to move away from it.

When I first got a Mac, one of the first pieces of software that I fell in love with was NetNewsWire - it was a revolution in how to keep up with news.
