NewsFire 1.5 Becomes Free
March 1st, 2008 by EDIT-XTREEM
Dave Watanabe just announced that NewsFire is now free. Joining NetNewsWire which recently did the same.
For those new to this, NewsFire is a news reader for blogs, news sites, and anything else that publishes an ‘RSS’ syndication feed. It watches for news so you don’t have to. When a new story is published, NewsFire brings it to your attention with some super-slick animation. Unlike other readers, NewsFire is designed with a deliberately minimal interface. The news is what matters and it takes center stage.
But I’ve just downloaded the version and noticed something. Try removing a subscription, works perfectly, now try removing the subscription to Dave’s Blog, doesn’t work. Anyone see where this might be going?
