FeedDemon and other NewsGator RSS clients now Free!
Posted on January 9, 2008, under Current Events, Web Dev/Tech.
NewsGator and Nick Bradbury (primary developer behind FeedDemon, TopStyle, HomeSite) announced today that their line of RSS clients, including the stellar FeedDemon, are now free! That is awesome!
I have been using FeedDemon as my primary RSS aggregator for over a year, and have loved it. Very quick, responsive, and a nice interface to read and manage feeds. I also subscribe to the (not free) NewsGator Online service to sync my feeds and clippings across 2 FeedDemon clients and the NewsGator Online client. Makes it very easy to stay on top of a lot of information.
Here are the available NewsGator RSS clients that are now free:
- FeedDemon – Windows client
- NetNewsWire – Mac OS X client
- NewsGator Inbox – Microsoft Outlook client
- NewsGator Go! – Mobile client
- NewsGator Online – Web client (has always been free)
They also posted some FAQs to address how this change fits their business model and isn’t NewsGator dumping their the RSS clients.
Update: Turns out they are making their synchronization service available for free as well – cool!
