NetNewsWire 3.2 Finalizes Google Reader Integration, Switches on Ads

Mac OS X: Yesterday we told you about NetNewsWire 2.0 for the iPhone, and earlier today NNW’s Windows counterpart FeedDemon finished its Google Reader integration. Today NetNewsWire’s 3.2 Mac release completes support for Google Reader syncing, web service Instapaper, and more.

(Click the image above for a closer look.)

This release isn’t all that different from the 3.2 beta that was released in July except that most of the bugs should be worked out for a more stable experience. This release also displays a small advertisement in the bottom-left corner. Users have the option to shell out $9.95 to maintain an ad-free experience.

According to NewsGator, notable tweaks and fixes from the 3.2 beta include:

Flagged items should now be in sync with starred items (both directions).

Import OPML now works again.

You can now subscribe to authenticated feeds without crashing. Authenticated feeds are automatically excluded from Google syncing.

NetNewsWire 3.2 is a free download for Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.

FeedDemon 3.0 Final is an RSS Addict’s Best Friend

Windows: The official 3.0 version of FeedDemon, the desktop feed reader that synchronizes with Google Reader, is now available, bringing with it many, many fixes, features, and updates for lovers of all things RSS.

The Digital Inspiration blog hosts the huge changelog for FeedDemon 3.0, with the bold-face features including Google Reader synchronization, tagging and “quick tagging” with icons of feed items, hover-over previews of shortened URLs, smart Twitter feed functionality to automatically link @, #, and other Twit-speak, performance enhancements, and—well, it’s pretty unfair to try and single out a few of the dozens and dozens of little tweaks made for this release. Suffice to say, if you’re looking for a desktop feed reader for Windows, you will not be sorry you tried out FeedDemon.

FeedDemon 3.0 is a free download for Windows systems only.

NetNewsWire 2.0 Better Integrates Google Reader with Your iPhone

iPhone/iPod touch: Ever since the FeedDemon/ NetNewsWire RSS readers announced exclusive Google Reader syncing, we’ve been waiting for that anywhere-you-go goodness to arrive on iPhones. Now it has, and NetNewsWire 2.0 is almost certainly better than Google Reader’s mobile site.

To be fair, Google Reader’s mobile view is still a great option for Android, Palm Pre, and other non-iPhone browsers that want a look at what’s new in their RSS collections. But the NetNewsWire app doesn’t require a new browser window, won’t lose your place if you venture off to read a link, stores items for offline reading, and offers some great navigation and sharing options, while all the time syncing what you read and star back to your Reader account. Of course, if you’re using another reader for your feed needs, NetNewsWire can easily work from your OPML file (assuming you’re okay with creating a Google account for backup syncing).

Want to post an item to Twitter, save it for later text-only reading in Instapaper, or simply jump to the next unread item in a full item view? NetNewsWire has you covered. Are you an overwhelmed blog editor who, on a frantic Monday morning, only needs to see items from the last 24 hours? Yeah, that’s in there as well. You can customize which feeds are shown or hidden on NetNewsWire’s home page, collapse folders and categories with a single click, and star items from a convenient button that doesn’t require your finger to tap around the very tiny space between a star icon and your left screen edge. The only thing missing is Reader’s Share/Like/comment tools, but it’s our guess that it’s a small subset of users who really need those from a mobile device.

NetNewsWire offers a free download with (not too annoying) ads for iPhones and iPod touch models running at least 3.0 firmware, or a $1.99 version with no advertising.
