A couple of very cool new NewsGator extensions worth mentioning:
NNTP Posting plug-in: Matt Hawley has built a plug-in/extension combination to allow posting to NNTP newsgroups directly from NewsGator and Outlook. Very nice!
FetchLinks: Graeme Foster has built a plug-in which will retrieve the linked content from a web site, for feeds that only provide links or excerpts, and store the content in Outlook.

We’re looking at ways to build a community site so great efforts like these can be more easily found by our customers. More info will follow when we get something together.
