The release marks the first major update of the product since NewsGator's
acquisition of FeedDemon developer Bradbury Software in May of 2005.
FeedDemon 2.0 includes seamless synchronization with the entire NewsGator
Online platform, including NewsGator Online, NewsGator Inbox, NetNewsWire,
and the other desktop and mobile products.
"Synchronizing FeedDemon with the rest of the NewsGator family enables
users to take advantage of the true power of RSS -- getting relevant
information anytime, anywhere," said Nick Bradbury, creator of FeedDemon,
and architect of client products at NewsGator. "In addition, the
usability and functionality improvements make it easier for both first-time
users getting acquainted with reading RSS feeds, and power users trying to
deal with information overload."
Furthering Leadership in Windows Desktop RSS Aggregator Market
There are millions of RSS feeds currently being published, which are
fueling the demand for RSS aggregators that are fast, easy to use and
compatible with other platforms and devices. Already the premier
Windows-based desktop aggregator, FeedDemon 2.0 delivers improvements in
the areas of functionality, usability, performance and synchronization.
Highlights include:
-- Synchronization with the leading online platform -- seamless
synchronization of subscriptions and "read" status with NewsGator Online,
so feeds marked as "read" on FeedDemon will show up as read on NewsGator
Online, NewsGator Inbox, NewsGator Mobile, NetNewsWire, and any other
product that uses the NewsGator Online API.
-- Simplified user interface -- a new single tree-view, streamlined user
interface, "unread" view for quick perusal of feeds are among the new
usability features
-- Relevant information delivered to you -- a summary of your
subscriptions including the feeds you pay the most (and least) amount of
attention to in an effort to help curtail information overload
"FeedDemon 2.0 is an amazing upgrade, particularly the synchronization and
the new features," said Chris Pirillo, president, Lockergnome.com. "It's
perfect for both power users and
novices -- a news aggregator that the whole world will appreciate and want
to use."
