DENVER, CO -- March 3, 2005 -- NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS software platform company, announced today the launch of its 'NewsGator Media Platform,' a private label RSS service for the media industry.

A premium service being offered to FortuneCity users, MyPhotoAlbum allows users to easily share photos with friends and family. While being offered as a free service to thousands, it seems very similar to Yahoo Photos offered for free through the Yahoo search engine portal. Unlike Yahoo Photos however, the first 10,000 registered users will be entered in a raffle for a new digital camera, gift certificates plus tons of other goodies. Since they are giving away free stuff, I entered just a few minutes ago. With any luck, I will be one of the lucky few that will be coming away with a little more than a cool place to store and share my pictures. To be blunt, I want that digital camera. After all, the price is right. ;o)

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

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

WSJ Online Feeds and FeedDemon 1.1.03


WSJ Online Feeds and FeedDemon 1.1.03 07/22/2004 02:45 PM

If you're a subscriber to The Wall Street Journal Online, you'll be happy to hear that a set of WSJ Online feeds is now available. If you're not a subscriber, you can still access the feeds - but they'll show only headlines as opposed to full content (hat tip to Kevin H. Stecyk for letting me know about these feeds).

When I first viewed the WSJ feeds in FeedDemon, I discovered that the wrong titles were showing in the channel bar. At first I thought there must be a problem with the feeds themselves, but it turns out the problem was with FeedDemon. So, I've posted a new build of FeedDemon which fixes this bug - just visit the download page to get it. As always, existing users should install the new build directly on top of the current build. All of your existing information (including your serial number) will be retained.

Note: The version of this build is 1.1.03, which is displayed during the install and in FeedDemon's "About" box. I'll update the "Check for new version" page shortly to reflect the new release.

NewsGator retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, newsgroups, and other information sources that support the RSS or Atom syndication formats, and automatically integrates the news items into Microsoft Outlook. RSS (Rich Site Summary) News Syndication is an emerging method of staying abreast with rapidly changing information and allows users to sort, organize, group and search news in multiple ways. Using NewsGator, users can read content offline making information readily accessible any time.

Major New features in NewsGator 2.0:

  • NewsGator Online Services integration -- NewsGator 2.0 includes tight integration for the new NewsGator Online Services platform, which allows users to take advantage of powerful subscription synchronization capabilities. Users can also read related content displayed on the NewsPage, seamlessly access custom search feeds, and easily locate exclusive premium content.
  • Subscription synchronization -- When used with the new NewsGator Online Services platform, NewsGator 2.0 allows users to synchronize their subscriptions between multiple machines, as well as other editions of NewsGator available with NewsGator Online Services.
  • NewsGator Extension API -- NewsGator 2.0 has a powerful new API available for third-party developers, allowing them to build extensions to NewsGator to support numerous new scenarios. With this move, NewsGator extends beyond just an application, becoming a platform allowing developers to build a variety of new applications.
  • Arbitrary RSS extension support -- NewsGator 2.0 is the first mainstream content aggregation tool to support arbitrary extensions in RSS or Atom feeds. Users or publishers can add arbitrary content into their feeds, and NewsGator is now able to process this custom data. Users can modify the rendering of items, add columns in Outlook, or build custom extension processors in .NET. For example, an extension can be written to add an appointment to the Outlook calendar when a meeting is announced in a feed. The possibilities are particularly exciting for businesses looking to integrate workflow applications with RSS and Atom feeds.

There are many other new capabilities and features in NewsGator 2.0, including support for enclosures and attachments in feeds, customizable rendering, and much more. And while NewsGator has always been tightly integrated with Internet Explorer to allow easy subscription to new feeds, NewsGator 2.0 enhances this integration with single-click subscription to feeds from a web site.

NewsGator 2.0 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and will be available on January 19, 2004 from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available.

Extension


"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension
09/20/2004 10:22 AM

When Firefox add ed RSS support, I had mixed reactions. On the one hand, I was excited by the boost RSS would receive by being supported in a popular browser. But on the other hand, for obvious reasons I wasn't wild about how Firefox built RSS into the browser without enabling users to choose an external RSS reader.

So, I was glad when several FeedDemon customers talking about building an extension to enable FeedDemon to take advantage of the new Firefox RSS features.

Michael Koziarski rose to the challenge and created F eed Your Reader, a Firefox extension that enables you to subscribe to feed in FeedDemon - or any other RSS reader that supports the feed: // protocol. Which means that even though the extension was designed with FeedDemon in mind, it's not specific to FeedDemon. Initial tests show that it also works with NetNewsWire on the Mac.

Once this extension is installed, you'll see an additional "FYR" icon in Firefox's status bar right next to the existing RSS icon. Clicking the FYR icon displays a menu of auto-discovered feeds, and clicking one of these feeds will display FeedDemon's "New Channel" wizard to subscribe to it.

Details on Feed Your Reader are h ere, and the project page is here. If you're viewing this in Firefox, the download link to the XPI (extension) is here .

Feed 0.6.4 04/08/2005 12:00 PM
Feed is a RSS and Atom news reader, with the latest version released in February 2005. The developer wrote this application because all of the existing freeware RSS readers were more of a "hybrid between iTunes and a web browser," and he wanted something that was more like an email client. The application is described as being "simple and familiar" including a single window interface, and it lives up to that claim. Because Feed is designed to work like a mail program, individual articles are displayed directly in Feed. The latest version of Feed now features drag and drop support, allowing the user to drag text and URL clippings directly into the Feed drawer from any application. Adding links from other applications is simple, and any feed or article can be dragged from Feed to another application that accepts Text or URL clippings. The application also features audio notifications allowing the user to choose any of the built in sounds to play when a new item becomes available. Articles can be bookmarked in the feed list with a simple command or by dragging the link to the Feed drawer, allowing articles to be grouped for later reading or to save an article indefinitely. The user has the option to completely customize the way feeds are managed and displayed with the drag and drop interface. Feeds can be grouped into folders and then display all articles in the group together. The application currently supports all versions of Atom and RSS allowing the importing and exporting of existing RSS feed subscriptions in the industry-standard OPML format. System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3 or higher Pros: User-friendly Drag and drop Free Cons: No help available If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Wow, that's what I call feedback! It's a shame pretty much everyone hates the new design but I like it so it stays. I've taken a few tips though and tweaked the link colours a bit, as well as making a few other small changes such as a darker green for the header and a 1em margin around the page.

In an attempt to satiate the voracious appetite for RSS displayed by some of my visitors I've set up two new feeds: Blog comments and Blogmarks. I don't use an aggregator myself so I'd appreciate feedback on how well they work. I've also put together a blogmarks archive - no search engine yet, but it's on the list.

I combined a couple of examples from the book to create Feed Poster, a program that checks a list of newsfeeds, composes a blog post listing the items from those newsfeeds posted in the last X days. You could use it, for example, to post a summary of your del.icio.us links at the end of each day. I considered using David Czarnecki's Java API for del.icio.us, which looks awesome, but I ended up using a simple newsfeed parser and blog client instead.
