TOOLS: Newsgator :-(

Posted on by

Three weeks ago, I started to use Newsgator, the news and RSS aggregator and blog publishing tool. I must say that the results are quite negative: I really like the central idea to integrate the tool within Outlook. This integration is a success but, on the other (dark) side, the aggregator’s interface could be improved. Another negative issue is the plug-in for the publishing part (I am using blogger): the title is not transferred well, lot of problems with the composing, etc.

Conclusion: to my mind, a real good idea but not worth yet ($29). I will follow the coming releases.

I am now using the following tools for blogging:

  • As aggregator, I am succesfully using SharpReader v0.9.4.1 from Luke Hutteman, without any particular issues. It’s also free :-) Bravo Luke!

  • As a publishing tool, I set up w.blogger v3.03 from Marcelo Cabral, which is a little bit strange at the beginning concerning the interface but, after some posts, quite pleasant to use! It’s also a freeware. Bravo Marcelo!
