Newsgator and Bloglines support APML

We are very happy to announce the following new developments for APML.

NewsGator Announcement
NewsGator has just announced on their developer blogs that NewsGator Technologies Inc to support APML across its product range starting with FeedDemon, NetNewsWire and NewsGator Inbox

Further, The APML Workgroup is announcing:

• With NewsGator Technologies APML implementation, they now join:
  • Cluztr.com (Clickstream Sharing),
  • Dandelife.com (The Social Biography Network) and
  • Particls.com (Attention Management Engine)

  These are three companies that already support APML using Engagd.com APIs.
  Engagd.com makes APML implementation quick and easy using a simple API— great for mash-ups all the way through to large-scale apps.

• There has been a new APML.org site launched - It’s designed to make APML a little easier to understand.
• There is now a new APML public discussion group for the community.

• Bloglines (web-based and mobile feed aggregator)
• Me.dium (social browsing)
