NewsGator - NetNewsWire Q&A with Brent and Greg

Good Q&A. This one illustrates one of the reasons why I'm so excited about this. The other big reason is that all their clients have really good user experiences & interfaces. They're a pleasure to use.

NewsGator - NetNewsWire: "Q: Will I be able to use NetNewsWire in one place, FeedDemon in another, NewsGator Outlook edition in another — and still be able to use NewsGator Online when I’m at my mom’s house?

Brent: Yes! That’s the beauty of the NewsGator platform, and one of the things that really drew me to the company. You can use any NewsGator product, at any place, on any device, and they will all synchronize content so you don’t have to read the same stuff twice. So use Outlook at work, NetNewsWire at home, FeedDemon on your laptop, NewsGator Mobile edition on your phone, and NewsGator Online at your mom’s house."

NewsGator acquires NetNewsWire!

Holy smokes!

October 4, 2005 – NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS platform company, announced today that it has acquired NetNewsWire, the leading RSS reader for Mac OS X. NewsGator also announced that NetNewsWire will integrate tightly with the NewsGator Online synchronization platform. Brent Simmons, the creator of NetNewsWire, will be joining the NewsGator team as a product architect.

The NewsGator Online platform provides a highly integrated and synchronized reading/viewing experience across multiple devices, including the web, mobile phones, televisions, and e-mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook. The recent FeedDemon acquisition extended this to the Windows desktop, and now with NetNewsWire, the premier RSS reader for Mac OS X, the platform extends to the Mac desktop as well.">NewsGator - News Archive: "October 4, 2005 – NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS platform company, announced today that it has acquired NetNewsWire, the leading RSS reader for Mac OS X.

This is fantastic news! The best two newsreaders (I've said so before, look it up) are now joined at the hip and will cross-sync!!!!

They have won me over completely, I am now a full on netnewswire/newsgator (web only right now) and I'm going to add outlook and look forward to adding a wireless mobile device too. Sweeeeeet! RSS nirvana...
