Have you ever wondered how “NTugo” is supposed to be pronounced? Have you ever thought “how the heck did they come up with that name?” This should answer your question.

NTugo is pronounced like “en-to-go”. Basically the letter “N” plus “To Go”. Why? Well, we like to say that it means the “Net To Go”.

How did we come up with the name “NTugo”? After two weeks of brainstorming names, the letter combination “TUGO” came up in a game of Boggle. Seeing as Tugo.com was already taken, the letter “N” was added to the beginning. Seeing as the domain name was available (and it was better than all of the other name ideas), “NTugo” was chosen as the name for this site.

After two months of waiting, you now have the power to change your password (and the email address on file). Just log-in and click the new “Profile” link in the top-right corner of the page.

Note to NTugo Email users: This will not change the password for your email account. You must request that we manually change the password. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You’ve probably heard of PageFlakes by now. They’re a customizable homepage like Netvibes or Google IG. The PageFlakes team has just released a new build, putting it’s feature set a step ahead of Netvibes. They’ve implemented nearly everything Netvibes offers, increased the speed, and introduced Pagecasts. Pagecasts are like the much talked about “Netvibes Universes”, only anyone can create one.

What does this have to do with NTugo? We’ve thrown together a NTugo Network Pagecast. Check it out, and add it to your PageFlakes account if you wish.

The old homepage wasn’t very informative, was it? Four HUGE buttons that linked to major parts of NTugo. Well, we thought we could do better. Take a look.

Hello, I’m Matt (NTugo’s main developer). Before I start talking about MyNT (My NTugo), I must first tell you a little about myself.

Despite being totally addicted to RSS feeds, I’ve never liked any RSS reader (be it web-based or not) other than Mozilla Firefox’s “Live Bookmarks” feature. I’d just stash my large collection of feeds in a folder marked “RSS” on the Bookmarks Toolbar. I’ve tried tons of aggregators. Feedreader, Netvibes, Pageflakes, iGoogle, Bloglines, etc. I haven’t liked any of them that much. Sure, they’re all great…but I couldn’t use any of them on a daily basis. There was always something wrong. They just didn’t feel right. Lately, I’ve been wishing I could access my feeds on other computers (which you obviously can’t do with Live Bookmarks). I needed a web-based feed aggregator. So, I recently decided to write my own. I spent nearly three weeks planning and conceptualizing. It had to be my perfect RSS aggregator. I wasn’t about to spend a bunch of my time building something I wouldn’t want to use. That would defeat the whole purpose.

Eventually I came up with a couple of ideas. The first was being able to read your feeds without logging in (imagine how much time and irritation that would save over a year). The second was “Social Feed Reading”. Basically, I wanted to take the concept of Del.icio.us, Ma.gnolia, Digg (etc), and apply it to RSS feeds.

After a week and a half of actual work, I present My NTugo…or MyNT for short (say “Mint”). As of today, it’s now available to everyone.

What’s so special about MyNT? For starters, it’s a very simplistic RSS reader. I wanted to capture the simplicity of Firefox’s Live Bookmarks, and add a bit more to it (you can view item summaries, and listen/download podcast files, for one thing).

You can read your feeds at any time, without logging in, by bookmarking http://my.ntugo.com/YourNTugoID.html. Just add that to your browser’s bookmarks bar for quick access. As a side note, you can read other user’s feeds that way too…

If you want to find some new feeds, you can even search through the database to see what other NTugo users are subscribed to (and easily subscribe yourself). It’s pretty cool.

I could go on about MyNT for hours, but sadly I don’t have enough time. Go check-out My NTugo for yourselves!

So, what’s next for NTugo? Something we call “My NTugo”, or MyNT for short.

What’s My NTugo? It’s a web-based RSS feed reader with a twist…and I’ll leave it at that. Basically, we’re making an RSS reader that has some features unavailable elsewhere, and we’re making an RSS  reader that I would actually want to use. The only feed reader in existence so far that I really like is Firefox’s “Live Bookmarks” feature, and my feed collection is getting a little too big for that.

Stay tuned to this blog for updates about MyNT.

Welcome to NTugo! Today (June 3, 2007), is the day that NTugo is finally launched. Unfortunately, we had to cut/postpone some of our cooler projects to put the site online (already being past our release date). We plan on adding some newer features as soon as we can.

We have not yet finished our “Edit Profile” page, which will allow users to change their email and password. Once we fix the numerous bugs it has, we’ll put it online.

Well, NTugo is here. Enjoy the blogs!
