NewsGator named one of Lead411’s Hottest Colorado Companies!

Lead411 has been scouring press releases and business articles to find the fastest growing companies in the United States. Separated by geographic region, the “Hottest Companies” awards began with a list of over 700 companies and it was eventually narrowed down to just 39. Out of the 39 winners, NewsGator was the only company to be awarded that focuses on enterprise social computing—furthering the notion that enterprise social computing is becoming more relevant.

Among the rest of the winners, NewsGator Development Partner, GNIP also made the cut. You can check out the final list of Lead411 winners here.
