..."NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS platform company, announced today that it has acquired NetNewsWire, the leading RSS reader for Mac OS X. NewsGator also announced that NetNewsWire will integrate tightly with the NewsGator Online synchronization platform. Brent Simmons, the creator of NetNewsWire, will be joining the NewsGator team as a product architect."...

Warmest congratulations to Brent and Sheila Simmons on this news. I'm a long-time user and fan of NNW and never ceased to be amazed how a team of only two people could have developed and supported such a powerful and elegant application.
