NewsLife Universal Binary

Version: 1.2.1 || Release Date: 2008-08-21 || License: Shareware (€12) Developer: ThinkMac Software

NewsLife is a super easy to use RSS news aggregator for Mac OS X.

NewsLife's simple interface, composed of three panes is intuitive and easy to use. The source list lets you organise your feeds how ever you want. The content area presents each article to you complete with thumbnails, quick navigation links and more. The side bar contains useful features like a search field, quick view buttons, filtering controls and the news bin, which acts as a scrapbook for any articles you have dragged into it. You can also choose to quickly email these items, Digg them, post them to your weblog editor or have them read aloud by your Mac.

It is indeed a nice RSS reader - tried NewsFire which doesn't attract me as much.
Recommended!

I'm using this as my primary RSS agregator and I'm lovin it! It's really simple to use. It doesn't have as many features as NetNewsWire, but i's still worth the money. I love the idea of the News Bin and the tabbed interface :)

I am dead serious. Newsfire is extremely simple and has alot more functions. How does it get easier than hitting the space bar?

@miyamoto freak: I hope your not serious. It's a lot simpler and easier to use than NewsFire. You also must remember that it's still in beta.

Tried it. It's like a clone of newsfire with some key features missing and it isn't as easy to use.

It's a pitty Search does not work. I noticed that on the support forum in december 2006 (!!). Up till now not reaction by ThinkMac Support but "Hmm it looks like the search function might be broken in the beta. I'll get that sorted."

Is it as nice as Newsfire? Well the best way to figure that one out is to download it and see. :) I prefer it to Newsfire (or any other RSS aggregator out there right now)... but one caveat... it is still in public beta right now, and it does have its quirks... So if those get to you, I'd recommend holding off and trying again in a bit... The dev. team seems to be smoothing things out pretty well.
