NetNewsWire 3.0a8

We here at TUAW are unabashed fans of NetNewsWire, the best of class newsreader for the Mac. That much you probably knew already, however, you might not know that NewsGator has just released an Alpha of NewNewsWire 3.0 (which brings us up to 3.0a8). Check out the release notes to get the full run down on what's new in this version. My favorite new additions? Here they are:

• Send to Twitterific for posting stuff to Twitter (another TUAW favorite)

• Microformats support (very cool)

• Performance enhancements (it is fast I tells ya!)

Remember this is a piece of Alpha software, and there are bound to be bugs.
