MacReporter 2 Released
MacReporter pioneered the desktop news reading market for Mac OS X back in
2001. It allowed users to quickly get notified when new articles were
published on their favorite web sites, and read those articles without
having to navigate deep inside web sites. It used a very simple yet
unobtrusive Dock menu based interface, and remained silent when nothing was
worth mentioning so that you could go on with your daily duties.
Over the years, desktop news reading became a big phenomenon, seeing the
rise of standards such as RSS and Atom. Since it debuted while those
standards where still in their infancy, MacReporter had been using its own
way of proceeding, allowing it to fetch news from just any site, not only
the web sites that provided RSS feeds, which was pretty powerful for the
time being.
A new era has now begun, and it needs a next-generation MacReporter to give
you full power over the ever-increasing mass of available information.
Effortlessly reading news...
