Looking forward to this. Reeder on iPhone is the reason I switched back to using Google Reader for my RSS collation needs.
Get any RSS feed automagically daily on your Kindle. Great for getting the newspapers and magazines (*cough*Economist*cough*) that you can’t buy a subscription for. (Built by a resident of Betahouse)
Here are the pipes I’ve created so far. Wish Flickr used the same ID for photos in regular streams as well as in pools, but I’m happy with a slight decrease in duplicity.
Wicked cool RSS/Atom masher-upper from Yahoo. Nice GUI and mapping model, which means making a Boing Boing feed without Xeni Jardin can essentially be a drag’n’drop operation.
Google Reader do cool personal “what have I been reading” datamining. Google Reader’s come on by leaps and bounds since its launch — If you’re still using Bloglines, it’s well worth trying out again.
Site which scans the MP3s on your hard disk, then builds you a custom RSS feed of news, tourdates, etc based upon your “favourite” artists. Taking this for a spin too. Update: The user experience on the site is horrible — It freezes your browser for a few minutes with almost no feedback, then finds barely any of the many, many artists on my computer. Not recommended
The new Google Reader UI is a vast improvement over their initial release. Still not something I’d use, but definitely recommendable to feed-reading newbies.
More software cluttering up my cellphone! This is a kind of like Konfabulator or Apple Dashboard — A website to manage your widgets (mostly RSS feeds at the moment), and a very simple, but attractive, on-phone interface for reading.
Oh, fucking hell. Dave Winer’s started another dick-swinging war about RSS, this time claiming that a group he started no longer exists, which came as something of a surprise to the nine members.
Finally had a chance to play with FeedLounge. It’s a very nice interface, that’s for sure — I’d recommend this over Bloglines to new RSS users. I’m probably going to stick with self-hosted Gregarius for now, though, since it’s free and free.
Really awesome looking self-hosted feed reader. I’ve been using Feed on Feeds for the last month or so, but this looks light-years ahead of it.
