For all you news reader lovers out there, one of the bigger mac readers has been updated.

Two main issues have been fixed in this latest update, NetNewsWire 3.1.6bi. The first update corrects a memory leak that affects some users. Plus, loading news clippings at app startup is reportedly faster.

Personally, I’m still using NewsFire and it is working well, without a hitch. I used to use NetNewsWire (for quite a long time) until I started encountering refresh issues, and some other small glitches that I wasn’t too pleased about. I can only imagine that the bugs have since been fixed, but I am quite happy with NewsFire for the moment

You can download NetNewsWire 3.1.6b1 from the developers website.

I would love to hear about your experiences with NetNewsWire and/or NewsFire.

Today I just learned that NewsFire RSS news reader is available for free for Mac OS X. When I read this a smile came to my face…

I’ve been a longtime user of NetNewsWire… But the release of the free version of NewsFire couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I’ve been having some issues with NNW… namely feeds disappearing from my list… and the occasional syncing error. I’m going to take this opportunity to export my subscriptions from NNW and try importing them to NewsFire. We’ll see what happens!

Off I go now to install NewsFire. From what I’ve seen I love the look/feel of the app, but we’ll see how it performs once I jam all of my subscriptions into it
