RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday October 18, 2004 @08:18AM 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."

It's like all of the RSS programmers didn't have any UI background and have to learn all the useability stuff we figgured out in Web Browsers....and Word Processors, and OS's...

You could take a look at NewsYouCanUse if you want a newsreader with a less clicky and obtrusive interface. One click to open a story, from your menubar.
