The most efficient way is to learn the shortcuts (f = flag, u = unread, k = all read etc). Other than not combining the view (unless you change its layout) it doesn’t easily toggle statuses with the mouse. Then I’d read other feeds that don’t rely on loading images. I used to do that every morning to load the comics and read them on the train. The most disappointing was that it didn’t combine the view when I selected multiple feeds. The first thing I noticed was that it didn’t have the little tricks I liked in Vienna. Upon setting up it asked whether I wanted to sync with NewsGator and offered log in/sign up opportunities. NetNewsWire has a typically pleasant layout (I expected one since people used to pay for this software).
The rest of the stuff is cool too: skinable layout, nice design, sorting into folders… stuff that most decent feed readers have now. Clicking in the space where an unread dot or a flag would be toggles the unread or flagged status. If you select multiple articles (by Cmd+click or Shift+click) they all show up in the viewer, it’s a combined view without having to change the window layout (see screenshot above). Sorting by multiple factors - if you click on Date it will sort by date (ascending or descending), then you can hit the circle button and the feeds will remain sorted by date but all the unread ones will be on the top. If I get overwhelmed by unread feeds I mark them as read - they’re there to enlighten, interest and teach me, not stress me out!. #Netnewswire os x update#
Friends (the people I have actually met and know well) hardly ever update their blogs so the folder usually stays contracted. I usually knock the photography folder over all at once (with an internet connection to load images). I have some blogs that I read as soon as they publish, others can wait. Stuff that doesn’t fit in those (Dave’s Comic Feed, for example) aren’t in a folder. Topical folders (blogs, design+blogging, friends, photography). Now I oscillate between about 50 and 200 unread feeds. I managed to get unread feeds of over 1000 down to less than 200, through some reading and some sacrificing (knowing that I would never read all of them). In Vienna I had a system that I like and works well for me. I’ve imported my feeds into NetNewsWire and I’ve been using it for about a week. NetNewsWire syncs with NewsGator online, giving you access to your feeds anywhere. #Netnewswire os x free#
There’s a free computer right there, but I can’t just jump on and surf the net I’m dependent on my RSS reader and bookmarks to give me a direction for reading. Recently, I’ve found myself in the lab waiting for something to incubate or centrifuge. My main reason for wanting to switch is that I would like something I can read both on- and off-line.

It’s a fantastic program: very intuitive, open source and full featured (including tabbed browser, skins for reading feeds, good search tool and AppleScript support). For the last year I’ve been a faithful Vienna user for reading RSS feeds on my mac.
