By Melissa Risteff, August 12, 2009

Inc Some good news we’re happy to share with you: Inc. magazine has named NewsGator one of the 500 fastest-growing companies in the country.

While not a complete surprise, it’s certainly an honor, and an affirmation of our rapid growth and success in enterprise social computing. Add this new proof point to our crossing of the million-user milestone with our NewsGator Social Sites enterprise social computing solution and our expanding relationship with Microsoft, and there’s no question: Social Sites is indispensable for organizations determined to find cost-effective ways to improve their business performance. As more than a million of you know, NewsGator Social Sites harnesses the power of social computing to improve innovation, sales, collaboration, recruitment, retention, expertise discovery and more.

The Inc. 500 award complements other honors for NewsGator announced in 2009, including: the Microsoft 2009 Best Social Computing Solution, KMWorld 2009 Companies That Matter, 2009 Colorado Companies to Watch, and the Upshot50 2009 Marketing Technology Leader.

We’re grateful. Honors are cool. But bottom-line results for our customers are what inspire us to keep getting better.
