NewsGator Inbox 3.0 is FREE!

“Free” as in you can now get it (though it is still in beta), and “Free” as in you’ll never have to pay for it… ever!

You can also get NetNewsWire, NewsGator Go! and FeedDemon – all of our consumer RSS readers – for free!

Download NewsGator Inbox 3.0 Beta here!

So what’s the catch?  Advertisements? 

Nope!  They’re the same best-of-breed RSS readers they’ve always been… in fact they’re all newer versions with even more useful features then they’ve ever had before!

Ahhh – so you’re slowing development?

Wrong again!  If anything, this enables us to speed up development!

So I get better, more full featured software for free?

Yep!

I still don’t get it.  What does NewsGator get in return?

RSS and other Web 2.0 technologies are exploding in the enterprise market – and we want NewsGator to be the first name you think of.  We’ve made a great name for ourselves (for good reason) and we want even more people to experience why our products are the best.

The other thing we get is something I’ve been talking about with Inbox 3.0 for a while now – attention data.  What people are reading, clipping, email, etc is very valuable and can be used to create some incredible features for all of our users – both business and consumer.

It’s also valuable to you, which is why Inbox 3.0 allows you to export this data via APML.

What about my privacy!

You’re privacy has always been important to us and continues to be.    We want to make our products better by learning from you, but we want to make clear that we will only share aggregate or anonymous data to do this.  For more information, please review our privacy policy (http://www.newsgator.com/privacy.aspx).

If you have more questions, check out Greg Reinacker’s (NewsGator’s CTO) FAQ (http://www.newsgator.com/CompanyInfo/FreeClientFAQ.aspx).  I’ll also be updating this post with more links!

Well, NG Inbox 3.0 might be in beta, but it definitely isn't available at the link in this post!

Which link isn't working? The link at the top will take you to the Inbox Product page where you can download the msi.

question on the privacy portion:

there are certain private enterprise specific feeds I'm subscribed to. If I do not have 'sync to newsgator online', then nothing about these feeds (the fact they exist, content, titles etc) are uploaded, correct?

@bob - yes, that's correct.
