Like everyone else, I got the “we’re shutting down Newsburst” email on December 12th. Sigh.
I pushed and prodded to build this web-based reader service, and poured a lot of energy into its creation. But you can’t change some things, and it’s smart of CNET to shut this down gracefully and move on.
See all my posts on this topic. It was fun to let it leak out nearly two years ago.
I’ll admit that I’ve been using NetNewsWire exclusively and happily ever since I left CNET.

Considering the drama around the leak out, this is a very quite way to go. Goodbye indeed.
