NewsGator to acquire Ranchero?

By Dave Caolo

Many of us in the feed-reading Mac world dearly love Ranchero Software's NetNewsWire. FeedDemon by Bradbury Software has an equally rabid following among Windows users. NewsGator has recently acquired FeedDemon, and if the rumors are true, they may be about to add NetNewsWire to the fold as well. Such a move would make NewsGator, as Julio at Pioneer Press put it, "...an RSS behemoth."

I understand that business is business, but I always feel somewhat sad when one of my favorite independent software companies (or products) gets absorbed by a larger venture. Still, I'm sure the deal will be a good one for the folks at Ranchero. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
