Greg - as always, you guys continue to do fantastic work on your products and services and this will be another great advancement for NewsGator. I've been a very loyal NG user for years now and absolutely love it.

BUT... like some others have mentioned, I have changed over to Mac now. I still have my old PC running just for NG to retrieve news and put it into appropriate folders in my hosted Exchange mailbox. Then I open up Entourage and get to the news by connecting to the Exchange box.

I, too, would LOVE to see (and pay for) an Entourage plugin!

Keep up the good work and get us Mac users in on some great software so we can shut down our old PCs and save some energy! :)

I've been one of the very early adaptors of Newsgator. I dropped it because I felt that a web-based client was "good enough" for me at the time.

But you are right: it's about choice and avoidance of duplication of effort. You are making steadly progress towards delivering on those two requirements.

Well done.

Best regards,

Newsgator’s Product Roadmap with enterprise focus, but consumer savvy, is on the money, and proactive strategic M&A (not a buy anything approach) is to be applauded as Newsgator becomes the premiere RSS platform company, globally !

I left NewsGator in favor of Bloglines a few months ago. Bloglines interface wins out (slightly) and it has better Firefox integration. This news is enough to bring me back (I own FeedDemon). I’m looking forward to reading feeds in FeedDemon, then jump to my PocketPC or Mac and have the *same* number of unread articles.

Ditto the plea for a Mac OS X version of FeedDemon. :-)

I’m stunned. It’s 11am Colorado time and there are already 200+ posts listed on Technorati about NewsGator’s acquisition of FeedDemon. It’s amazing how the word spreads and it is fascinating to read the feedback (both positive and negative), speculation, and rants (good and bad) about this deal. I’ve noticed several negative comments asserting that “this was driven by the VCs.” While I’ve clearly been involved in NewsGator’s strategy (and Fred has some flattering words to say on the matter), JB and Greg have been driving the strategy and execution of this business (as a VC, I get to “be helpful”, hopefully in a…[more]
