Online News Aggregators with a European Twist

By Melissa Risteff, April 03, 2006

This morning we announced the availability of localized versions of NewsGator Online for five Western European countries- Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Belgium.  Through our partnership with VNU, one of the leading European technology media companies, subscribers to the service can get relevant, localized content in their language of choice.  This is a follow-up to our announcement last year of British and French versions of the application.

Although our English-language aggregators have a lot of subscribers from across the pond, their is no substitute for localized content and that's what VNU and NewsGator are delivering.  Not only are we offering feeds in six languages, but we also provide a localized taxonomy and language-specific Editor's Choice, Featured Links and Popular Feeds.

You can sign up for localized versions through the following URLs:
