NewsGator to continue MarsEdit Development

Brent Simmons,  newly of NewsGator, announced tonight, at the Drunkenblog event, that NewsGator will continue developing MarsEdit, Ranchero's blog editor. This is great news for me, personally, since I love MarsEdit with a passion.

Brent was surprised by the passionate userbase that MarsEdit had, he knew that NetNewsWire has a great userbase, but the uproar about the possibility of MarsEdit's demise due to the NewsGator acquisition of Ranchero was a shock to both Brent and NewsGator.

Brent told me that in addition to continuing development of MarsEdit, they will be hiring an additional developer who will be in charge of working on MarsEdit to add features and fix bugs.

Look for my interview with Brent to learn more about this announcement.
