NewsGator Social Sites in Action

By Melissa Risteff, July 07, 2009

Earlier this month, Kirk Evans, Architect Evangelist at Microsoft, had a conversation with Brian Kellner, VP of Products at NewsGator, about the capabilities of Social Sites, our social computing solution built around SharePoint. Laura Farrelly, VP of Marketing at NewsGator, also provides a detailed walk through of some of the cool features of Social Sites. 

As Kirk says in his blog, "Social Sites is a fantastic product with a lot of exciting capabilities.  I have several large customers that are using Social Sites in their enterprise, and every time I talk to a customer that is using it they rave about what a transformation Social Sites provided with their intranet."

We hope you'll find the video of their conversation (below) worthwhile:
