There are so many moving parts inside NewsGator Technologies, that sometimes it's difficult to keep all of our activities straight. For instance, we have products and tools in the following diverse areas: social sites; enterprises server; widget framework, data services; branded readers; and RSS readers -- such as Brent Simmons' NetNewsWire (for Mac & iPhone).  Because of that, each of us at NewsGator sometimes need to catch ourselves up on what other parts of the company are doing. 

Lucky for us, Brent decided to dive into NewsGator Widgets and see what they're all about.  He's written a highly informative, detailed blog post on NewsGator's widgets business from his perspective.  His insights and reactions are a very valuable read, and I hope you'll stop by his post, "Checking Out NewsGator Widgets."

The premise of his post?  "I didn’t know that much about widgets, and I got curious."  His point of view is a unique one because he is highly experienced in the Tech and RSS space, but is a relative outsider to the world of widgets.  I think you'll find what he has to say very elucidating. 

Thanks, Brent!
