Update On FeedDemon Creator, Nick Bradbury

By Melissa Risteff, November 02, 2009

Many of you may know that in 2005, NewsGator acquired FeedDemon, an RSS reader for PCs that was then integrated into the entire NewsGator RSS ecosystem.  When we acquired FeedDemon its creator, Nick Bradbury, officially became a NewsGator employee.  

Since then, our enterprise business has grown faster than anticipated and NewsGator has started to focus increasingly on Social Sites for enterprise organizations.  Because of that, we recently made the decision to shut down NewsGator online and have our RSS readers sync with Google Reader.  

As a result of this change, Nick Bradbury will return to being an independent developer.  However, FeedDemon is not going anywhere and it will remain a NewsGator product. In fact, Nick has lots of exciting enhancements planned for FeedDemon.  

We'd like to thank Nick for his tireless work and significant impact to NewsGator, and we are appreciative of the incredible contributions he has made to NewsGator's RSS and social computing products.

You can read some reflections about Nick's time at NewsGator from our CTO and co-founder, Greg Reinacker here.
