  • Free RSS Adapter for Groove 2007 and Outlook 2007

     
    ThreeWill has published an RSS Adapter for Groove.  The application lets you use an RSS Reader (including Outlook 2007 in latest version) to access discussion-based information in your Groove workspaces.

    One of the key benefits of the tool is you can use your RSS Reader to search across discussion threads in multiple workspaces. And as you receive updates, when you click on the article this will open the Groove workspace and discussion item to make it easy for you to respond.

    RSS Adapter for Groove supports both the Forms Customizable Discussion Tool and the standard Discussion Tool. It supports multiple identities. You can specify the port to use for your OPML and RSS requests. You can generate the OPML for the feeds at any time. You can also look at statistics including the number of OPML and RSS requests made.

    You can register and download the new version here

    Please contact ThreeWill at info@threewill.com for any questions related to the RSS Adapter for Groove tool.

  • Welcome to this new blog...


    Few days ago, I suggested to Admin (Thanks Jim !) creating a new blog dedicated to products and services around Groove.

    Several Community attendees are ISV or Service Providers and I think it will be interesting for the whole community to discover how they can use (or improve their use), integrate and extend Groove by using third party products or software services.

    So feel free to create new posts to describre your solutions !

    As a guideline, I would suggest to each author creating a post to include (at least) the following information:  

    - Product Name
    - Short description
    - Features List
    - Benefits
    - Price
    - Trial available (if yes, conditions : time limited, feature limited, etc)
    - Supported Groove versions (3.1? 2007? Both?)
    - Supported Languages
    - Link to related resources (website, webstore, download site, trial site...)
    - About Author (Who you are + Link to your website or useful resources)

    Of course, any suggestion is welcome ;-)
