I tend to flip-flop when it comes to using a desktop client, or app for Gmail. Recently, I also found NetNewsWire which syncs to Google Reader in an IMAP kinda way (I know it isn’t actually IMAP, but that’s what it reminds me of).

On both of my Macs I have my Gmail account set up in both (Apple) Mail and Thunderbird. Before that I used the web interface for Gmail for quite a while, and before that even, I used the command line “pine” or sometimes “alpine” client. So, here I was using desktop applications that consume both RAM and CPU cycles on my Macs for something that could be done just as easily (if not better) on the web.

I switched back to the web. I like it better. What are your thoughts? Do you use the web, or a desktop app for Mail and RSS?

I’m posting this mostly for my brother ‘that mac guy’ that mentioned after reading a great review said he wanted to buy Spanning Sync but was too cheap.

But if there are other mac users out there reading my PC blog, I figured you might want to have at this deal too.

So, if you are going to buy Spanning Sync use this discount code for $5 off your purchase - GTMFRU.

Hat tip to Google Tutor.
