Oooh! Oooh! Newsgator syncs with IE7 and Vista!
Too cool. NewsGator just announced that NewsGator Desktop Sync is available for adventurous pre-release tester types. This new utility will synchronize your NewsGator Online subscriptions with the RSS list used by Windows Vista and/or IE7. This concept was first demonstrated at the Mix06 event. To try the pre-release version you must have a NewsGator online account and be running Vista RC1 and/or Internet Explorer 7 RC1 and the .Net Framework 2.0. Here’s the gist of the announcement:
NewsGator Desktop Sync Beta is the evolution of the MIX06 demo and offers full synchronization between the Windows RSS Platform and NewsGator Online. Desktop Sync is a system tray application that keeps your feeds, folders and read states synchronized between NewsGator Online and the Windows RSS Platform. This means that any application that uses the Windows RSS Platform will be automatically synchronized with your NewsGator Online account!
