Cool NewsGator Online Features

As you may have noticed, we've been incrementally adding new features to NewsGator Online.  We have a new load planned for today ... here is a preview of what you can expect to see.

New Features:

• Overall, we are working to improve the "look, feel, and functionality" of NewsGator Online.  Our ultimate goal is to provide you with an online aggregator that is clean and useful - with no extraneous graphics, colors, or steps that may impede your feed reading.
• You will notice that the function icons are larger with more space between them.  This feature will help you mark as read, save to clippings and forward posts via email with more ease.
• The date, time and publisher of the feed now introduces the feed, instead of being below the feed.  (This was actually one of my pet peeves.  Knowing who the feed is coming from when doing general knowledge management work is a big help when determining if you will click through...and, if it is a long post, scrolling down is inefficient.)
• If you have "Group by Feeds" enabled, you can now expand or collapse feeds by clicking on the ">>" icon.  Again, this is a time saver for power users.

Below are before and after screenshots.
