@Bob - good point; this is actually the case with any internal feeds that aren’t accessible to the internet.

However - there are versions of all of the clients (including FeedDemon and NetNewsWire) that will actually sync with NGES, instead of syncing with NewsGator Online; when configured that way, clippings feeds will sync just like any other feed.

Greg,

Nice video. You mentioned subscribing to the RSS feed of a NGES Clippings folder. It should be noted that if someone tries subscribing using FeedDemon (or, I suppose, NetNewsWire), it will only work if the feed is placed in a folder that isn’t sync’d with Newsgator Online.

@Dan - I’d think of flags as the same thing as flags in email; if you have an organization system that benefits from flagging certain messages for a particular reason, you can do this…and of course they’ll be synced between your apps/devices (similar to Exchange).

With clippings, I think of them more as a folder to save a copy of certain articles in, potentially along with an annotation (like “this reminds me of X” or something). You can do more things after that with clippings - for example, you can expose clippings as a feed and share them with folks.

I could probably RTFM or STFW and figure this out, but I’d appreciate your perspective - what’s the difference in intent between flagged items and clippings? I’m a little confused about why I’d use one vs. the other.

(I primarily use NNW at home and NGO at work - and I’m trying to scratch out some time to set up an NGES instance at work, too.)

I am using the regular version of FeedDemon. Why can’t I add annotations to my clippings :-)?
