We’re excited to announce that users of NewsGator’s products (FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, NewsGator Inbox, and NewsGator Online) can now share their Clippings on ReadBurner! This means that a Clipping is counted in the same way as a share on Google Reader or Netvibes, and you’ll now see NewsGator users side-by-side with Google Reader and Netvibes users when looking at an item on ReadBurner:

Each NewsGator user that shares their Clippings will also get their own page in the same way users of other services do, so they can keep track of how many times their Clippings are being shared and see who else is also sharing them. To share your NewsGator Clippings, go to our “Add Feed” page and follow the instructions. Nick Bradbury of NewsGator has also posted about our partnership – check out his post to get some more specific instructions to make sure your Clippings get included!

In other news, we’ve made a UI enhancement that we think both users and publishers will love. Now, when you click on a headline, the full story from the originating site will load in a lightbox on ReadBurner. As opposed to other services that pull in the full RSS feed, this means that the publisher’s entire site still loads, and it means that users can leave comments there too, all without leaving ReadBurner. Of course, if you prefer to just visit the site directly in a new window, just click the red arrow next to the headline and you can do just that.

We hope you enjoy the changes and we warmly welcome NewsGator users to the ReadBurner family!
