The story of how NewsGator attempted to corner the market on consumer RSS has taken another strange turn.

NewsGator Inbox is an application that works with Microsoft Outlook to let you read and manage your feeds from the email client. ...

NewsGator's web-based feed reader has always gotten a lot of mileage as the only supportive way to sync with the popular FeedDemon desktop reader and NetNewsWire desktop and iPhone apps. But it almost seems redundant to support your own web-based RSS product when Google Reader is so popular, and offers a comparable user experience. That's what NewsGator seems to think, anyway. The company just ...

FeedDemon has been the best RSS news reading application on the Windows platform for a long time. The folks at NewsGator certainly thought so, and instead of building their own standalone news aggregator for Windows, they bought FeedDemon. The best news is that though FeedDemon was at one time a commercial product (and worth every penny), it's now available for free. Even when it was a standalone ...

You download and install the open source application, and ...

NewsGator and AideRSS have partnered to add PostRank features to NewsGator's online RSS feed reader. PostRank is basically determined by looking at each item in a feed and determining its popularity based on factors such as how many comments it has received, how many other sites link to that post, how many times it has been saved to del.icio.us, or voted up on Digg. Each article is then assigned ...

How many of the applications you use on a daily basis are web-based as opposed to locally installed native applications? For me, the answer is way more than I ever would have expected. Had you asked me this question a few years ago, I would have vehemently denied that the future of development is on the web. As much as I could see and understand the value of a ubiquitously available web-based ...

Until now. Ars Technica reports that China has started blocking any URL that starts with "feeds," "rss," and "blog." That makes it pretty difficult to access the feeds for an awful lot of ...

Feed Each Other is a new social RSS reader. What does that mean? Well, it's kind of a social network and RSS reader all rolled into one, sort of like a cross between Google Reader and Facebook. As an RSS reader, the layout should be pretty familiar to anyone who uses Bloglines, NewsGator, Google Reader, or any of the other popular web-based RSS readers. You can organize your feeds into folders ...
