Ranchero has finally released public beta versions of NetNewsWire 2.0 and their new blog editor, MarsEdit. I have been using both for a while now: the software I used to post that I couldn’t mention in my Meme Propagation Test post was in fact MarsEdit! Of course, this post is also posted via MarsEdit. :)

While both softwares are still in beta, they’ve become essential to my daily routine. The built-in browser in NetNewsWire and its ability to remember tabs from session to session makes it worth it by itself and resulted in me not using Safari for news reading anymore. I used to open my “to-read” articles in Safari tabs. Big problem though: if I had to reboot or Safari crashed for some reason, I would loose all my queued articles or have to hunt them in the browser history. Not anymore! The flip side is that I currently have 55 open tabs in NetNewsWire with article begging me to read them! My problem is that I open tabs way faster than I can close them. :)

Of course, there are a lot more new features than just an embedded browser. Plus, there is more to come (not everything has been announced yet)! Give them a spin, you won’t regret it.
