Killer Dev Team and Calacanis Fan Boy

I was poking around Jason’s site looking at the comments on his two posts about the NewsGator ad experimentation from last week - for more info check out Greg’s blog.  Positioned between those two posts is one about MyBlogLog – a very cool social widget thingie.  So, there I was holding position one in Jason’s MyBlog widget.  Weird - take a looksee at what I saw in FeedDemon.

So, if you are looking for more info on the NewsGator ad dealio, as pointed out earlier, Greg gives the low down.  One of the take away from Greg’s post:

“The goal is to make the overall online interface faster to use and more efficient for the 90% case, and we have lots of ideas how to get there.  Over the next few months, you’ll see the online product change and evolve.”

The NewsGator Online team will make it so.  Tim Walker’s group is the most cohesive dev team I have ever seen.  I am not just saying that because I work at NewsGator; I say this because it is true.  I think there are three ingredients that make the team so effective:

1. A great leader in Tim
2. A rock star team
3. And most importantly respect that flows equally in both directions

Tim leads a killer dev team, but who are the Calacanis fan boys?

Anyone Diggin’ Digg

Rumors are floating around that digg is in acquisition talks.  I love digg - I love diggnation even more, btw.

But man, I gotta tell ya if I am a potential acquirer, digg doesn’t look so hot sitting next to YT - YT has set the bar (and price tag) pretty high.
