NetNewsWire now Free
Yesterday Newsgator announced that all their news reading client products would be free from now on.
For Mac users this means today the fabulous NetNewsWire is free where as yesterday it would have cost you $29.95.
I have to be honest and say I’m not sure how I feel about this.
Newsgator say expanding the use of their client products will improve the attraction of their server based offerings. If this is true then future updates to NetNewsWire will hopefully be frequent and maintain the products current excellence.
If however this decision has come because NewGator have just found themselves in a very crowded market space (especially in the open source arena) where its very hard to make money on client software then the future of NetNewsWire maybe a little less certain, which is sad for what I believe is one of the Macs best software offerings.
