Newsgator's last release was a year ago, or in software time, 10 years ago. Didn't Greg blog this past February about a product called “Dino” and the upcoming “Media Platform”? So, where is it? “Dino” is nowhere to be found. Is Newsgator selling vaporware? Greg said “We do a LOT of enterprise business with our Outlook-based product.” So, who are these “lots” of enterprise customers and where is “Dino”, the result of the “lots” of business? Most companies brag like crazy about such deals, but not a peep from Newsgator. Could it be that Greg is doing the dot.com pump-n-dump? He has hinted on several occasions that Microsoft may be looking to buy them out.

Well said Chris. I've been using Newsgator Outlook edition for a year now and love it. But how many people would be using Newsgator if Scoble didn't pimp it so hard? It kinda makes you wonder.

Outlook based news reader is something I've never understand. Why not just use an RSS2SMTP agent? Why do you need a thick client for this job?
