NNW offers a really streamlined yet powerful way of organizing that mounting collection of news sites and blogs you're struggling to keep track of. Feeds can be organized into Groups (folders) to help with the categorizing process, and a really slick Smart List feature can automatically collect headlines from various sources based on keywords, date or feed source.

If mere text and images aren't enough for you, NNW even does a great job of handling podcasts. The app can be set up to automatically download the cast, copy it into a designated iTunes playlist and trash the original file. If you're working on more than one Mac you can synchronize your subscription list and headline unread statuses with .Mac or an FTP server. To top things off: Applescript is most definitely in the house.

So if the news and blog bookmarks are piling up on you, go give NetNewsWire or its Lite (less customizable, but free) cousin a spin.

**Sidenote: the Lite version is linked all the way at the bottom of the product page.
