DUH! NetNewsWire does offer a Bloglines sync feature. I just didn't look around enough. So in the words of Emily Litella, 'Nevermind'

You can still read my post though :-)

Richard MacManus asked who/what will be the Bloglines killer? I agree with most of Richard's points, but here is what I want.

I want a combination app that offers both a desktop and web-based experience for the Macintosh. I want this app to maintain a single subscription list and be intelligent enough to know what I have read in both places. (NewsGator offers this, but they are PC only)

I love NetNewsWire for the Mac. The Beta 2 addressed almost all the issues I had with this first version. As Richard says in his post, web-based tools like Bloglines do not offer me a rich enough UI for heavy daily use. That's why I will always stick with a desktop app.

But I realize that at times when I don't have my laptop, a web-based tool is great. After all that is why webmail (whether from my ISP or with Gmail) is necessary. With my current set-up I have exported my feed list via OMPL to Bloglines but every time I visit the site everything is un-read. I need to make a mental note of what items I have read and what I have not.

What are my options? Switch to a PC and start using NewsGator? Not realistic. Convince NetNewsWire to build a web-based version and offer synchronization? Perhaps :-)
