NewsGator Selected as Red Herring 100 Finalist for 2010

By Melissa Risteff, June 15, 2010

So, we made the cut. Red Herring Magazine has whittled down hundreds of entrants vying for its annual Red Herring 100 list of most innovative companies in North America, and NewsGator made the short list of finalists. As flattered as we are as a company, it’s also telling that enterprise social computing has made the cut.

This is further evidence that the value of enterprise social computing – when done right is moving past head-scratch skepticism to head-nod acceptance. Companies just don’t spend on nice-to-have technology in times like this. Social computing has real value in the enterprise. Our customers, who have deployed over 2.5 million seats of our social enterprise computing software, have experienced it. We believe it’s driving the way people work, and its cool to see that being recognized.

Now, fingers crossed for the June 24th final selection!
