			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,<br />
We are glad to announce our new rating system which will greatly improve both user and software developer experience with GOTD.<br />
Starting tomorrow, there won&#8217;t be a single rating for each software. Instead, each program will be represented by several separate ratings:</p>
<p>Useful (0 to 5 stars)<br />
Easy to install 0/5<br />
Stable 0/5<br />
User friendly 0/5<br />
Feature rich 0/5<br />
Reasonable price 0/5<br />
Helpful documentation 0/5</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not all. Now, you will be able to comment on each of these ratings, or add a general recommendation.<br />
We hope that the system will help both our visitors and software developers with more detailed feedback.<br />
Please try this new rating system and let us know if you like it:), we need your opinion!</p>
<p>Yours,<br />
GOTD team</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve received enormous number of complaints that some of the antivirus/antispyware detecting our wrapped activation files as “malicious” content. So, our tech team looked through that problem and found what had been a cause of that. All the fuss was created by our GAOTD Wrapper and had nothing to do with the Software Informer as some of you have suggested. This one on us and we are sorry.</p>
<p>You see besides teaming up with Informer Technologies and adding an optional Software Informer client installation we&#8217;ve updated GAOTD wrapper version a bit (particularly, added advanced error diagnostics capabilities). Cause of that innovation some of antivirus software gave you false positives.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve removed that part from wrapper (yep, back to the drawing board&#8230;) and re-wrapped all the software right on Sunday. </p>
<p>Sorry for the inconvenience and all the negative comments we&#8217;ve caused.<br />
Regards,<br />
GAOTD</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everybody!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re happy to announce GAOTD cooperation with another great company Informer Technologies and it&#8217;s project Software Informer in particular. From now on while activating new giveaway you&#8217;ll be opted to install Software Informer Client on your PC. It&#8217;s up to you whether to give this nifty utility a try or don&#8217;t even bother trying.</p>
<p>What Software Informer can do? Well, first of all this version of siClient (one that you&#8217;ll be opted to install) will notify you about new Giveawayoftheday offerings. No need to browse through web-pages &#8211; just a quick look at the Giveawayoftheday Notification section and you know nearly everything about new offering. One more click &#8211; and you are on the current giveaway&#8217;s web-page, just one step away from download. Also Software Informer Client will help you to keep track of your software, notify you about existing updates for any of your installed programs, as soon as those updates become available on the Internet and help you to solve any problematic issues you have by connecting you to power users of the same program.</p>
<p>More info about Software Informer you can get after jump or on the <a href="http://software.informer.com/">software.informer.com</a> web-site.<span id="more-160"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Software Informer is a utility that has been designed specifically for those users who care to keep their applications functional and ready for any task that might arise. Its primary aim is to give you up-to-date information about the software you actually use. For that purpose, this program will make a list of applications installed on your computer, and later on will check their versions for obsoleteness by connecting to software.informer.com, the expanding server with a huge and constantly updated list of current application versions. Whenever a more recent version of any program becomes available, Software Informer will notify you and offer a link for downloading the update. </p>
<p>Software Informer will provide you with a centralized interface for gathering relevant information on all the applications that might interest you. Almost every program has a neat review, describing its features and drawbacks, and is linked to similar software by means of a tag cloud, encouraging you to explore and find just the right utility for your demands. Allowing you to keep track of comments and questions on corresponding software, and remaining nevertheless incredibly easy to use, Software Informer makes the process of obtaining the desired information and tools completely free from tiresome search and disappointment &#8211; and thus, makes the whole process pleasantly usual.</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear GOTD visitors,</p>
<p>Thanks for being with us all this time and for suggesting many useful things for our project. Right now we&#8217;re working on a new evaluation system that would be more sophisticated and effective for developers, our subscribers and those who come here to get some info about certain software products.</p>
<p>We would be very glad to hear your ideas on how we can make GOTD better, what new features you&#8217;d like to see on GAOTD site, what services you&#8217;d like to have here, how you&#8217;d like to evaluate software etc.</p>
<p>(Except for software suggestions &#8211; for that we still have another thread<br />
that, yes, we check often and get much use of it)</p>
<p>Any comments on improving GOTD are welcome.</p>
<p>Yours,<br />
GOTD Team</p>
