The Hottest Thing I’ve Seen at NewsGator
February 23rd, 2007
Several weeks ago our Engineering VP at NewsGator, Karyn German, started doing weekly Friday afternoon QA power hours. This has been a great concept that every company should consider. Basically, the company gets together and we beat on the apps that are about to be released or go into beta. There are tons of benefits - thorough testing, training, idea stimulation, motivation, etc etc.
Last week I saw one of the coolest NewsGator apps I have seen to date. It is not quite fully locked and loaded, but one manifestation of the end result is somewhere on this space. This thing flat out rocks… nice job Karyn (she was also instrumental in the design) and nice job Walker and his stellar team. It is just buzzing w/ goodness.

Wow, Kevin, your implementation of Buzz rocks! As kind as your words are, I can hardly take any credit for anything resembling design. I jusr documented a few use cases and worked closely withe a very, very talented team of folks here at NewsGator.
I’m looking forward to our full launch of this very cool application too!

Yepper… that is one heck of a team! And I am sure the release of buzz will create a ton of buzz. Everyone will want (I mean need) NewsGator buzz!
