NetNewWire, my favorite feed reader ever has gone totally free: Brent Simmons on NetNewsWire 3.1’s Release as Freeware. I highly recommend NetNewWire for feed management on OS/X especially for the clipping/blogging features. I’ve never quite been able to “get into” online readers (much like my continued need to use an offline mail clients) but NNW also syncs with NewGator’s online systems — which means you can browse your feeds with their online apps as well.
The cross-synchronization and the iPhone optimized version of the online client is what keeps me hooked (also the cold fact that without it, I’d have to prune my list of 117 feeds (including 6 planets and reddit/dzone)).
Yeah, it happened a few days ago, I’m still wading through a backlog of posts.
