OmniFocus v. iGTD

Just curious if Mac users see these two apps (OmniFocus is still in beta) as the main competition in OS X. It seems from this forum and others that Mac users spend most time talking about these than other apps (Actiontastic, Thinking Rock, etc). Would anyone care to predict the outcome of a "race" between the two apps? Can OmniFocus keep up if iGTD? Perhaps OmniFocus will arrive too late given iGTD's popularity and price. Or is it comparing apples and oranges?

To save the rest of...

To save the rest of you time, the reference is to NetNewsWire/Newsgator/Ranchero Software: http://ranchero.com/

1) "The company was founded in 2003 and has raised $18 million in venture funding to-date. The company's investors include Mobius Venture Capital and Masthead Venture Partners. You can learn more about why two million people rely on NewsGator for all of their RSS needs by visiting the RSS Learning Center."

Doesn't sound like a one man show to me. Sure Apple "started" with just 2 guys. Every company "starts" with one idea, and maybe an initial product. But they had to partner, with others, bring in more resources, to take off. That's my point. Anyone can start something, but to make it grow, you need more than one head working on it and thus you have to give up some control.

2) Frankly, I'm sure I heard of them at some point, but I don't use newsreaders so Ranchero has never been on my radar. Maybe others??

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
