NetNewsWire 3.1 is free (and there’s already a new beta)
Earlier today we released NetNewsWire 3.1—and announced that it, along with other RSS readers from NewsGator, are free. See my post on inessential.com for more info.
There were a couple bugs that weren’t found until after shipping 3.1, so we released a public beta of 3.1.1b1 on nnwbeta.com.
It fixes a crash-at-startup bug a few people reported, and it fixes a bug where the description view could disappear. (Otherwise 3.1.1b1 is the same as 3.1.)

Macworld Readers’ Choice Awards
Macworld: Editors’ Notes: “For 2007, we’re doubling the number of reader awards to four. And we’re introducing some new categories which, ideally, will give more developers a shot at earning some accolades.”
If you’re thinking about what apps to nominate, let me suggest a few of my favorites: Acorn, Coda, MarsEdit, Radioshift, Skitch, and Twitterrific.
(We’re living in the golden age of Mac software. The list above could be much, much longer—there are so many worthy apps, and it seems like more all the time.)

Flex Your HIG
Red Sweater: “Some readers pointed out that in announcing FlexTime 1.1, along with its snazzy new interface, I left out some of the most interesting details to programmers. How did I accomplish all of the little things that add up to the new UI?”

NewsGator for Windows Mobile Beta
NewsGator Daily: “A little less than three months ago, we announced a couple of new mobile RSS readers that were in the works. One of them was a reader for Windows Mobile devices called SmartRead, which was under development by Kevin Cawley. Now christened NewsGator for Windows Mobile Devices, the product has entered public beta, and is available for download.”
Mac users using Windows mobile? Isn’t that treason? ;) Well, no—there is at least one Mac user who does, especially given that there is, sadly, no OS X mobile. (How I wish.)
So, if you’re one of those folks, and you’re interested in syncing your feeds with your phone, and you’d like to help test, please do get in on the beta.
P.S. A J2ME reader is in the works too, for folks who use Blackberry, Palm OS Treo, and similar.

Productivity Tips For Avid Blog Readers
To-Done: “Information overload is one of the biggest hurdles you’ll have to deal with on the road to being more productive...

Outline Exchange and XML
About This Particular Outliner: “Many ATPO readers simply cannot find the outliner tool that does all the things they wish, so they combine tools. Often, this is facilitated by a standard called OPML, the Outline Processing Markup Language.”

News That Comes to You
J.D. Lasica on RSS news readers: “Instead of the hunt and peck of Web surfing, you can download or buy a small program that turns your computer into a voracious media hub, letting you snag headlines and news updates as if you were commanding the anchor desk at CNN.”
