For the past couple of months, I've returned to reading my RSS feeds using NetNewsWire. I've been using Bloglines and Google Reader for a long while before that, but I found that I'm simply able to read more news with a native app. Besides, the offline capability of google reader didn't really work for me, as I never remembered to download the news before running off with my laptop.
I was happy to see a new release of it today, and there's specially one feature that solves a problem for me. Our video bookmarking site iwatchthis uses a bookmarklet to save videos. Up until now, I've had to open the videos in Firefox to save them, but now you can use it via the NNW scripts menu:
First, log into iwatchthis. Go to your feed, and if you have videos posted, click the bookmarklet link. Then copy the link by right clicking like this:
Make sure you have the latest version of NNW, and click the scripts icon next to help, and choose open script folder. Once the folder opens in Finder, make a new file here called iwatchthis.js, and paste the contents of the bookmarklet into the file.
The script automatically appears in NNW, and you can post a video link to iwatchthis by opening it in a tab and clicking iwatchthis from the script menu.
