This guy states the following:
The most controversial feature removed from NetNewsWire Lite is Google
Reader syncing. Brent calls this the non-synced feed advantage.
NetNewsWire Lite gets the news faster than a application that relies
on Google Reader. This is because NetNewsWire Lite gets its news
directly from the source while other feed readers must wait for Google
Reader to get it beforehand. NetNewsWire Lite supports an automatic
fast refresh rate of 10 minutes. A impossible feat for feed readers
that rely on Google as the middleman. The “Non-Synced Advantage”
provides more than just speed. Because NetNewsWire Lite does not sync
with Google Reader it can support features like authenticated feeds
that Google Reader does not.
But the bog question I have then: How can I get direct Google alert
like feeds of a subject into my netnewswire
In google reader an akert feed is created is seconds. So how do I do
that in Netnewswire 4,0 lite
If this is not possibkle: How do I solve google reader alert problems
in netnewswire 3.3
