Denver, Colo. - NewsGator Technologies, a provider of RSS-based online news aggregation software, announced that it has acquired Seattle-based NetNewsWire, a provider of similar software for Mac users. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Denver-based NewsGator's platform lets users subscribe to and organize news feeds from various sources, and read news content on the Web, via e-mail, and on mobile phones and televisions. "Many of our online customers who are Mac users have asked if we had plans to extend our product platform to the Mac desktop," said NewsGator founder and CTO Greg Reinacker. "NetNewsWire is the dominant RSS application for the Mac OS, and was an obvious choice for us."
