NetNewsWire, my new favorite RSS reader, has emerged from the abyss of shareware to give us the best possible experience with RSS–for free. The previously expensive app NetNewsWire is finally free, which is great news for all of us. It has tons of awesome features, and a gorgeous interface. Best app of its type. It also supports multi-computer use and syncing read/unread feeds.
