NewsGator Discontinues Online RSS Reader

NewsGator has announced that they will no longer offer an online RSS reader and instead will sync with Google Reader.

-----
Google Reader will become the online companion to, and the synchronization platform for, our award-winning RSS reader applications. Our RSS readers include FeedDemon, the most popular Windows RSS reader; NetNewsWire, the leading application for RSS reading on the Mac; and NetNewsWire for the iPhone, one of TIME magazine’s top 10 iPhone Apps of 2008. New versions of FeedDemon and NetNewsWire are available today, and a new version of NetNewsWire for iPhone will be available soon.

As part of this transition, NewsGator Online users will need to migrate to Google Reader by August 31, 2009. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to easily migrate your RSS subscriptions here, and we'll provide some in-product reminders to our NewsGator Online users.

Users of FeedDemon, NetNewsWire for Mac, and NetNewsWire for the iPhone will have 30 days to download new versions of these applications that can synchronize with Google Reader. Syncing will give you a consistent reading experience across your PC, Mac, iPhone, and web browser. For example, if you add a new RSS feed, organize your folders, or mark some stories as read on one device, the changes will immediately reflect across the others. Users of NewsGator Go! can select from the mobile RSS reader options that synchronize with Google Reader.
