NETNEWSWIRE FREE SOFTWARE
In the mean time thousands of consumers will be able to download quality software for free, and the small desktop clients can continue developing cool new features funded by enterprise usage.
NETNEWSWIRE FREE UPDATE
Competitors such as Attensa do not have a similar strength in the desktop client space, and NewsGator will continue to worry about Microsoft shipping an update to SharePoint that could shake up their enterprise market. NewsGator’s move to free is an interesting risk for a changing business. They hope free tools will infiltrate corporate America to generate new sales leads and internal advocates for bigger licensing fees.
And that’s a good thing – both for us and for you.Įach desktop application can also sync with a local activity hub NewsGator is selling within enterprises. Y using your data, in combination with aggregate data from other users, we can deliver a better experience for everyone. NewsGator plans to use the extended user base available via its free clients to fine-tune relevancy and other metrics available through uniquely identifiable attention data. Each client filters its requests for feed data through the centralized online service and synchronizes each user’s list of subscriptions, read/unread items, shared snippets, and more. NewsGator differentiates its desktop client offerings from the competition through the NewsGator Online hub. Online competitors such as Google Reader are starting to deliver desktop-like speeds in an always up-to-date, always available model. NewsGator Inbox competes directly with Outlook 2007. Apple client NetNewsWire competes with Mail.app in Leopard and open-source freeware such as Vienna. Windows client FeedDemon needs to compete with feed reading capabilities built-in to Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7 or open-source clients such as RSS Bandit. NewsGator’s desktop feed readers previously cost about $30 each and faced some commoditization through feed reading software bundled with modern operating systems, office suites, or competitive open-source solutions.
The company announced the change in pricing in a press release today and a blog post by founder Greg Reinacker. The company hopes to regain any loss of revenue from its desktop business with new enterprise sales leads and better attention metadata. NewsGator is giving away desktop feed readers FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, and NewsGator Inbox.
