NewsGator as the Anti-AP
Considering this latest announcement is an evolution of things we have been working on all year, this is probably a lot less exciting to us than for people hearing it for the first time.

Reuters and NewsGator Partner on Election Coverage
I was remiss in not writing about another announcement we made yesterday. Reuters and NewsGator have teamed up to offer U.S. election coverage widgets for individuals and publishers.

Branded iPhone Apps From NewsGator
We have experienced a lot of success with our NetNewsWire application on the iPhone, and like all good things in business it lent itself to a series of “what if” discussions internally, the result of which was what I am writing about today.

Playing with Widgets
Brent Simmons wrote a great post documenting his exploration of NewsGator’s widget service. I am super impressed with the widgets that he created right out of the gate, cool stuff.

In addition to having some kick ass technology, we really like the mSpoke team and are excited that fruits from our working projects are beginning to be realized.
