How is this feed reader different from dozens of others? The simple answer:

Cyndicate treats feed entries like emails.

- can delete entries to a trash can (compare to NetNewsWire)
- can drag entries into folders (compare to Vienna)
- can flag, label, and rate entries, etc.

If you never ever keep your feed entries, then Cyndicate might not be the right feed reader you - although it still has a great learning algorithm (a kind of positive spam-filter) that is still worth trying.

However, if you ever do keep feed entries, Cyndicate's ability to save them in project folders is a useful feature lacking in NetNewsWire, Vienna, Safari, Mail etc. Cyndicate also supports smartfolders, blog app and social bookmark integration, applescript, and a host of other advanced features. Worth checking out.

Clippings folders in NNW3 - sjk

NetNewsWire 3.0 added Clippings folders for storing individual news items. NNW still has the unfortunate limitation of only being able to select one news item at a time, which extends to clippings so it's tedious to move or delete large numbers of them. And there's still no way to manually delete an original news item after it's saved as a clipping (or not); it has to expire from the feed.

NNW3 has been a disappointment (e.g. still several unfixed regressions from 2.x) so I'll probably try Cyndicate to see if it has advantages that make it a potential NNW replacement candidate.
