RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-different dept.

Thoro writes "There is an unusual interview with the authors of the five major RSS clients for OS X: NetNewsWire, NewsFire, NewsMac, PulpFiction and Shrook. Safari RSS, Apple, the hype around RSS and the role of the news aggregator in the future are discussed. It's also hinted that the performance problems of RSS may be overblown. It is a breath of fresh air to see so many competitors come together to talk civily and not to better gang up on another."

    Careful, some folks could have said the same thing about operating systems. Even before the Microsoft/Linux arrivals.
