Om Malik posts that his sources tell him that NewsGator is going to annouce a deal to buy Ranchero Software, the makers of NetNewsWire. As Om says, NNW is the RSS reader of choice for Mac users. And like Om, I am excited at the prospect of Mac/PC/Online syncronization of my feeds.

I wonder what will become of MarsEdit, Ranchero's simple blog editor?

Scoble lists the platforms that NewsGator works on.

Update: It's a done deal.
