Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie

I’m not quite sure when it happened, but newsgator is now offering all of their RSS readers for free!

If you aren’t familiar with RSS and RSS readers, check out the articles at the links.

What does this mean for you? Well, it means you can now use newsgator’s award winning RSS readers for free, duh!? (you used to have to pay $30 or something). These free readers are available for Windows, Mac and mobile phone platforms.

For me, what this means, is that I will always have my feeds synced no matter where I go. I had been using Viigo as a Blackberry RSS reader, and it is an excellent reader with various options like email to a friend, posting on delicious, starring or saving items, feed suggestions, Feed Alerts, and even package tracking services. The only drawback for me was the fact that Viigo wouldn’t sync with my feeds elsewhere. I could pull an OPML file from Newsgator with Viigo, but if I marked something as read in Viigo, it wasn’t marked read in Netnewswire or newsgator online. Now with Newsgator, I can get my feeds, online (through newsgator.com), on my desktop (through Netnewsire) or through Newsgator Go! (on my Blackberry offline or on) and always stay in sync. I no longer have to delete information that I have already read because it is all synced together. I think that’s pretty freakin’ awesome. And a lot of It can be done without the trappings of a web browser.

If you’re not currently using an RSS reader, or if you’re ready to graduate to something more robust, you should definitely check out one of Newsgator’s now free readers for your desktop, online, and your mobile device, and keep your feeds synced wherever you go. I really don’t think you’ll regret it after you try it.
