I like this software for reading RSS feeds. I tried to also use it for posting to TypePad, and had a number of problems which could only be explained as bugs in NNS wrt TypePad.

I posted questions and requests for help to the NetNewsWire mail list which were usually IGNORED. And the bugs persisted for quite some time, as new releases of NNW with new features came out -- my choice would have been for the bugs to be fixed before features were added.

Finally I gave up and got ecto, which I am very happy with for posting. For all I know NNW may work with TypePad now, but it's too late for me.

I don't think NNW needs to be all things to all people, but the developer should respond to requests for help.

This was a few months ago and for all I know these problems are resolved now, but no software remains problem-free forever, and this developer has demonstrated a lack of commitment to be responsive when problems do emerge.

So I thought that people considering NNW should know that. For newsreading, it's excellent, and I still use it for that purpose, although for the reasons mentioned above I no longer have "loyalty to the brand". I'll switch if at some point I try something else that I like as much for reading.
