RSS readers look like email clientes because due to some osmosis with Usenet readers: https://web.media.mit.edu/~kkarahal/generals/VSpaces/usenet....

and such metaphor exchange predates 2002 NetNewsWire by far.

Many other misconcepts start from here on in the article. Like popularity of RSS due to this software and not due to people acquiring more Internet culture.

Even wikipedia article is off: "According to FeedBurner, NetNewsWire was the most popular desktop newsreader on all platforms in 2005."

NetNewsWire supported platforms in 2005: Macos PPC.

Am I getting all this wrong?
