While I like the NewsGator feed reader application for Macs, I have been using the online version more frequently, and I have yet to download the desktop app to my new Mac. So the news that NewsGator is no longer going to be available online is disappointing.
Not only is NewsGator Online going away, it's synching with Google Reader. Does Google really need to control everything.
Why Google Reader/Google Synch? We looked for the best online reader companion, and online synchronization platform option, for our consumer applications … and of course have had tons of requests for synch with Google as well. Google was clearly the best option for an online companion to the consumer readers we’ll continue to innovate and support.
And there is going to be ads now.
