RSS Software Platform Leader Now Offers FREE Version of its Online Edition; New Features, Functionality, and Tools Offered

DENVER, CO — October 18, 2004 — NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS software platform company, announced that a new version of NewsGator Online will now be free to consumers at http://www.newsgator.com. NewsGator has added a number of cutting-edge innovations to its existing state-of-the art web-based aggregator and now, users can track all their favorite RSS and news feeds online at no charge.

New features and functions in the updated Online platform include:

• Folders – you can now manage all your feeds online in the same way you organize information in Microsoft Outlook or other popular email clients.
• Per-Post Rating System – A major milestone, NewsGator has introduced a per-post ratings system. Not only can users rate each post they read, but can also add the rating feature seamlessly to their own blog site. By rating the posts they read, users can enjoy more sophisticated recommendations and highly-rated aggregated content in ways that have never before been possible.
• Recommended Feeds –NewsGator Online now recommends new RSS feeds based on your preferences and ratings. This makes it easier to find information that is useful and bring it to you in a format that is easy to access, read and store.
• My Clippings – This allows you to save all of your favorite posts with one click, and access them later.
• Smart Feed Enhancements – In addition to adding additional content sources for its keyword and URL search feeds, NewsGator is now offering email feeds, which allow users to have email sent to specific addresses converted to RSS feeds and consumed in NewsGator or other tools. This is especially useful for subscribing to mailing lists, or for converting email-based alerts to RSS.

The new free edition also includes subscription synchronization capabilities with NewsGator Outlook Edition.

Leading content providers, analysts, and RSS innovators applauded NewsGator's announcement:

Allen Weiner of the Gartner Group said, "Essential to the growth of RSS is the development of products and services that cross the chasm to a broader consumer audience. These innovative features and great content, packaged to attract new readers, will help grow the entire industry more rapidly."

FeedBurner's CEO Dick Costolo said, "New features, greater ease-of-use, and a great consumer offer. These are exactly the ingredients required for the next phase of the RSS industry’s growth. We're very pleased to see this terrific new recipe from our partners at NewsGator."

Thirty premiere RSS content providers joined in the launch announcement, including the Christian Science Monitor, Space.com, CBS major-market affiliates, WebMD, and Weblogs, Inc.

"We're pleased to see these continuing innovations making RSS ever-easier and more readily available for a broader public," said Grant Wedner of WebMD. "Health information is a perfect content category for RSS, and Web MD looks forward to extending its health content leadership into this exciting new medium."

"We're excited to be connecting users to Topix.net's local news through NewsGator" said Rich Skrenta, CEO of Topix.net, adding "NewsGator Online provides a great interface for users to access the full breadth of news from us quickly and easily."

"We're pleased to provide these innovative new features and functions with a dramatically enhanced user interface, and thrilled to now offer our cutting-edge online edition at no charge to users," said Greg Reinacker, Founder and CTO of NewsGator.

In addition to its free Online Service, NewsGator sells NewsGator Outlook Edition, which allows you to access and synchronize all your RSS feeds through Microsoft Outlook. Many corporate and consumer customers alike love the integration with Outlook because it allows them to read information they need in an application they 'live in' daily, which makes them more productive.

NewsGator Online Premium Services are also available on a monthly subscription basis and start at $5.95 per user. Features include:

• Premium Content – exclusive, subscriber-only content to subscribers.
• Mobile Edition, Email Edition, and Media Center Edition – you can access your synchronized feeds from any device at any time, including mobile wireless phones and PDAs.
• Smart Feeds – allows you to track topics of interest in real-time. This is an extremely powerful capability, useful for anyone from PR and advertising agencies, to marketing personnel, to weblog authors.

We Are All Security Consumers

We Are All Security Consumers 05/04/2004 12:18 PM
Bruce Schneier says:

This essay of mine argues that the correct way to evaluate security countermeasures is as consumers: is the security you're getting worth what you're giving up to get it.

From the essay: The invasion of Iraq, for example, is presented as an important move for national security. It may be true, but it's only half of the argument. Invading Iraq has cost the United States enormously. The monetary bill is more than $100 billion, and the cost is still rising. The cost in American lives is more than 600, and the number is still rising. The cost in world opinion is considerable. There's a question that needs to be addressed: "Was this the best way to spend all of that? As security consumers, did we get the most security we could have for that $100 billion, those lives, and those other things?"
