NewsGator Releases Update to FeedDemon

Building on the 2.0 and 2.1 releases in 2006, FeedDemon 2.5 now works even better with the NewsGator Online platform. Individuals can synchronize and share their news bins by copying a post or drag-and-dropping a hyperlink from an external browser, essentially creating their own newsfeed that they can then share with friends or colleagues. The news bins synchronize with NewsGator’s enterprise solutions, NewsGator Enterprise Server and NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand, so that users can make enterprise Clippings using FeedDemon 2.5. Additionally, enhanced visibility allows users to see what the most popular topics are for both NewsGator as a whole and for their personal feeds. Now with a single click, users can find out the most popular topics of discussion on the Internet and can discover who in the blogosphere is linking to a specific post.

The reading experience itself is also improved, as people can now download stories, links, and images to read on airplanes or in other instances when they can’t get online. Embedded videos from video portals such as YouTube now play easily and securely from within the newspaper view. Additionally, users can configure desktop alerts to notify them of new articles in only their most important feeds, while performance enhancements greatly increase the speed of feed delivery and add to the overall news reading experience.
