NewsFire 1.4

There are two types of Mac RSS geeks: those who use NetNewsWire and those who use NewsFire. NewsFire 1.4 might finally be the version that I, an admitted feed junkie, can actually use. It seems that NewsFire 1.4 has many performance improvements including much better handling of a large number of feeds (I have about 700 at the moment). Amongst the other new features are:

• Status sort

• type ahead discovery in feed selection

• improved media player that supports video

NewsFire 1.4 is a free upgrade for all licensed users while a brand new copy costs $18.99.
