NNW vs. TickerShock
Authored by: tjarrett on Oct 27, '04 01:41:22PM

I have been using NetNewsWire since its first release. I am currently subscribed to 272 syndication feeds. There may be a causal relationship between these two statements.

Seriously, NNW makes it possible and easy to subscribe to and read large numbers of feeds in a way that I haven't seen with any other newsreader on any platform. This is where a tool like TickerShock would fall down for me. I think it would probably take more than an hour (my default refresh) to get through all the headlines that I would want to read, in a speed that would allow me to read them. Plus context is important--if I read a headline, I may interpret it differently if it's from a blog than if it's in the New York Times.

Clearly this wouldn't work for you :).

For me, on a 'good' day, I'd bet I read maybe 15 news articles...
