I have been a Mac user and fanboy ever since Ed Dale started to sing Apple's praises (to me) back in 2003.
The Apple iPhone is now irreplaceable for me so I though I would begin to share some of the iPhone apps that I couldn't do without. I have begun to realise that over 75% of my time using the iPhone has nothing to do with Telecommunications but with the apps. They are the killer differential between the iPhone and all other similar devices.
This weeks app is NetNewsWire. There is also a Mac desktop version but I really love the iPhone app. In essence, NetNewsWire is a front end to Google Reader. Those of you that have completed the 30DC will know how important newsreaders are to the 30DC process. Without Google Reader it would be impossible for us to follow and stay up to date with the volume of news sources that we do.
For some time though, I had been dissatisfied with the Google Reader interface both in the browser and on the iPhone and I had begun to not check the news every day out of frustration with the time it took. NetNewsWire has made it so much easier and it is a breeze to share useful news items with my Twitter account directly from within the app. There is a free and paid version of the app but the only difference seems to be that the Paid version lacks the ads that are displayed within the free version.
If you use Google Reader you are going to love NetNewswire. For me, it has quickly become one of the apps I use every day!
