NewsGator - NewsGator Technologies Acquires NetNewsWire

NewsGator - NewsGator Technologies Acquires NetNewsWire: "NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS platform company, announced today that it has acquired NetNewsWire, the leading RSS reader for Mac OS X. NewsGator also announced that NetNewsWire will integrate tightly with the NewsGator Online synchronization platform. Brent Simmons, the creator of NetNewsWire, will be joining the NewsGator team as a product architect.
...
"Synchronization is set to be the killer feature of the next generation of feed reading software. NetNewsWire already offers terrific synching between multiple copies of NetNewsWire; but it's no longer enough just to track feed subscriptions from one computer, using one application," said John Gruber, author of the popular Mac weblog Daring Fireball. "What's needed is a way to track your subscriptions from different applications on multiple platforms, including from the web itself. I'm happy to see Brent Simmons and NetNewsWire have joined with NewsGator to bring these features to Mac OS X.""
