I use a Mac and started out with NetNewsWire a while ago. I started using Google Reader and stuck with it since the new version came out in beta and it was great until I decided to try NetNewsWire again about a week or two again for some reason. Now, I won't go back to Google Reader despite the fact that I love Google products.

NetNewsWire is faster (as a desktop version should be) and I find I have more screen space available to see my feeds more clearly.

By the way Vinny, the Windows equivalent of NNW is FeedDemon, also sold by Newsgator.

I’m not using a Mac yet, so I’ll stick with Google Reader for another while as my preferred feed reader.

Good question, Owen! I do know that Yahoo tends to do a lot of user-agent sniffing (for example, it tells people to change the search box from Google to Yahoo!). I don’t think it’s a bad thing overall, as in many cases it improves the user experience, but I would say that in your case, if they don’t have a custom page for your browser, they should serve a default Mozilla page as it is Mozilla based.

Speaking of Macs, the new My Yahoo page doesn’t like my Mac browser–BonEcho, the Mac-optimized version of Firefox. When I change the UserAgent string setting in about:config, My Yahoo lets me in. Aren’t we past User Agent sniffing by name?

Funny thing is that Steve Rubel disagrees with me!
