NewsGator Announces Three Key Partnerships to Drive RSS Platform & Adoption
DENVER --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 29, 2004 -- Six Apart, Moreover, and FeedDemon Team up with NewsGator to Enhance Content, Search, and Synchronization Capabilities for Customers
NewsGator Technologies, the leading RSS software platform company, announced today three significant partnerships which will enhance its leading RSS technology platform. NewsGator customers can now synchronize their online subscription information with FeedDemon, they will enjoy a wider range of search content in their custom search feeds, and they will experience a tighter integration with leading weblog platforms.
FeedDemon
NewsGator and Bradbury Software announced today that FeedDemon will now synchronize subscription information with NewsGator Online Services. FeedDemon users will now be able to read their selected content not only on their desktop, but also on the web, on their mobile devices, on their Media Centers, or in Microsoft Outlook or other popular email clients. The latest addition to NewsGator's "any time, any place, any device" strategy, this partnership ensures that FeedDemon users can enjoy the benefits that NewsGator's customers have enjoyed since early 2004 -- access to their content from anywhere, without having to read the same things twice.
"We're excited to extend our reach to multiple devices by partnering with NewsGator," said Nick Bradbury, founder of Bradbury Software and creator of FeedDemon. "Our customers have been asking for synchronization capability like this for a long time, and NewsGator is a leader in this space."
The next beta release of FeedDemon 1.5 will contain this synchronization capability.
Moreover
NewsGator and Moreover announced an agreement to include Moreover news search data in NewsGator's search feeds. Part of the NewsGator Online Services platform, NewsGator search feeds include filtered data from blogs, news sites, SEC filings, and other sources, and return results in a single feed, with no advertising. In addition, NewsGator will carry Moreover's aggregated news search feeds in its desktop and online products, providing topic-specific information to users.
"We're delighted to have been chosen by NewsGator to be the primary provider of news search content for NewsGator Online Services," said Jim Pitkow, CEO of Moreover.
Six Apart
NewsGator and Six Apart, the leading provider of weblog publishing software, announced a co-marketing relationship focused on enterprise sales of the two companies' leading technology platforms. NewsGator also announced that it will be releasing new plug-ins and other technology to make it simple to post feed content from NewsGator products to Six Apart blogs in Movable Type and TypePad. The companies plan significant future co-development work to enhance the experience for RSS and blog customers.
Andrew Anker, Executive Vice President of Six Apart, said "We're very pleased to partner with NewsGator as they continue to make it easy for their big installed base of weblog readers to become weblog creators. Tighter integration between NewsGator's products and Movable Type and TypePad will be great for our mutual customers."
Greg Reinacker, founder and CTO of NewsGator, said, "We're very excited about these strategic partnerships. Closer integration with other applications, including the leading desktop reader and the leading weblog publishing systems, will significantly enhance the RSS experience for consumers and enterprises, and our arrangement with Moreover strengthens our content offerings as well. Combined, these arrangements signify our ongoing investment as the leader in the RSS platform space to ensure that this technology penetrates as rapidly as possible."
