RSS Reader Blocks RSS Ads

NewsFire, a Mac RSS reader, is now blocking advertisements from Google and FeedBurner.

According to Niall Kenedy, NewsFire is the first aggregator to block advertisements in the default installation and not a custom user-supplied CSS stylesheet.

Whether this will be a growing trend is yet to be seen, but if I was Jason Calacanis of Weblogs Inc., at the moment, I’d be pretty p*ssed to know that a feedreader is blocking my ads on my full feeds by default.
