NetNewsWire: I wish I wasn’t poor

After ranting about Shrook’s cool subscription service, I discovered that NetNewsWire integrates with your Bloglines account. Imagine: you go to work and read feeds all day (no, that’s not what you’re paid to do, but hey…). You come home and fire up NetNewsWire (because you’ve already been offline for like 30 minutes) and all of the feeds that you read during the day are already marked as read. You read some new feeds, which don’t show up in your Bloglines account because you read them in NNW. That’s sexy desktop-web integration, and I wish I had the cash to buy NetNewsWire.

Update: Vienna, an open-source reader for OS X, might support Bloglines integration in the future.

Update 2: RSS owl may already have this kind of synchronization. I know that it will automatically update the list of feeds if I change it in Bloglines, but I’m not sure about items yet. RSS Owl is open-source and cross platform (Win/Mac/Linux). It’s not quite as pretty as NNW/Shrook/Vienna, but it has the features I want. Look here for how to synchronize with Bloglines.
