Say, for example, I want to 'find new feeds' for a general topic like "crime research"?

I think I remember why I really hated syncing. I just turn on sync and NNW have froze on me twice and all those while trying to interact with Newsgator server. So, I don't trust Newsgator server and let my feeds refresh every time it has to check for updates. I honestly don't care much about that speed as long as NNW remains cool without interacting with Newsgator. Ok. I think I remember why I really hated syncing.

Well, as you've explained, it looks like I'll give that sync thingy a try. @Jonathon

There are a couple of reasons it is faster when syncing: 1) When NOT syncing, if you have 200 feeds, the reader has to ask each of those feeds if there is anything new. When you are syncing, the first thing NetNewsWire does is ask the server which feeds have updated. If the NewsGator Server responds that only 50 feeds have updates, it only checks those feeds, reducing the update time by a factor of 4 (in this example) 2) When not syncing, a reader downloads an entire feed, and compares the posts to what it already has. When Syncing, the server sends only the new/updated posts. Once again reducing bandwidth and time 3) This is a big one - When syncing, a lot of data is GZipped. When not synced it usually isn't. This can reduce update bandwidth by 90% in some cases. Lastly, turning sync on and off is definitely going to increase the time because the system has to figure out what feeds have changed, and compare what posts have been downloaded while you weren't synced. Leave it on for a few days and you should see a significant improvement in update times.

Can NNW post directly to tumble logs like Tumblr? Currently, I have to launch an article in Safari and then post via the Tumblr bookmarklet. Can I add web site bookmarks to NNW? Maybe that would solve the problem. I know that NNW can post to blog editors like MarsEdit. Can NNW post directly to tumble logs like Tumblr?
