Synchronizing to Google Reader?
We get a request now and then to allow BlogBridge to synchronize directly with Google Reader. Looks like our esteemed competitor FeedDemon (and one of the few left standing in the client-side blog reader category) has gone ahead and implemented this feature.
For us, given that our revenue model (ahem, such as it is) relies on hard-core users to be willing to pay a tiny bit for server sync, this is a more difficult proposition. I wonder, if we offered this feature, would folks expect it to be part of the ‘free’ BlogBridge, or be willing to pay for a basic ($5/3 months) subscription for the capability?Here’s a quote from this LifeHacker article:
The Big Showdown between Google Reader’s web-based convenience and FeedDemon’s speedy, customizable client may become moot. The latest FeedDemon beta now supports synchronizing with Google Reader, giving RSS addicts the best of both worlds. (from LifeHacker)
So, tell us, what do you think?

IMHO free software should interact with other free services free as well. My 2 cents.
