Looks like the folks over at Newsgator have been pretty busy lately. Recently announced at the CES show in Las Vegas, Newsgator will release version 2.0 of their Outlook integrated RSS reader as well as an online version, with lots and lots of new functionality. Let me tell ya right from the start...this ain't you're mommas 2.0 release.
"Wouldn't it be cool if you could synchronize feeds between two machines?" you might ask. Actually, yes, I wish for this all the time, as a matter of fact, I make it a habit of exporting my feeds from one PC to another once or twice a week. Well, with Newsgator 2.0 and a subscription to Newsgator Online (pricing starts at 5.95 per month), you can do just this and you can also read your feeds online when you're away from your machines.
What more could you want? Well, I'll tell you. Newsgator 2.0 will support extensible ATOM and RSS feeds in addition to the standard RSS and x-ATOM 0.3 (x because the standard is not yet finalized) feeds. Clearly, this is not for everyone, but the power of extending and customizing your feeds may seem appealing to many and the ability to customize the Outlook interface to take advantage of the extensible feeds is outstanding.
Anyway, all this won't be available until the product launches on January 19th, but personally, I'm looking forward to it. Unfortunately I am kinda partial to Newscrawler at the moment, but that may change rather quickly if this turns out to be as cool as it looks.
