About Us

NewsGator was founded in 2003 to realize the potential of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to transform the way people consume information. This vision has proved true with NewsGator’s success and the company’s pioneering use of RSS to streamline and structure enterprise communication. NewsGator has thrived where its competitors have faltered largely as a function of two attributes: pace of innovation and a fanatical focus on customer satisfaction. NewsGator now has more than 2.5 million paid enterprise social computing users and the largest Government 2.0 implementations.
 
NewsGator is a Microsoft “depth-managed” independent software vendor (ISV) partner. Our flagship product - Social Sites® – is social computing software that’s built directly into Microsoft SharePoint. Direct integration with SharePoint’s business collaboration platform means Social Sites integrates hassle-free with thousands of companies’ existing computing infrastructures, unlike most competing enterprise social computing offerings. Capabilities such as microblogging, activity streams, social profiles, mobile clients, and expertise location - much like familiar consumer-oriented social software – ensure Social Sites users extract real business value from collaboration and knowledge management activities.

NewsGator’s Widget Services and iPhone applications enable media and brand companies to better engage their audiences and extend the value of their brands through viral syndication of content.

NewsGator also offers free, award-winning RSS aggregators for the Web, desktop, mobile devices, and e-mail clients.
