I just got into this last week...I use reader.google.com this is great...b/c I dont want to have to go to all my favorite sites to check to see if theres anything I want to read...and it's great that sites like Forbes and others are using this now.



Does anyone else use these? I say there wont be a newspaper in 10 years and it'll all be this...

[LUconn]

I don't use them. And I've never attempted to. But I've always wondered what it is that you use to display your feeds. Is it just something that would be posted on your own personal website? Or do things get emailed to you?

[Hold My Own]

I'm telling you man you'd love it...go to www.reader.google.com and sign up...its free it's easy and it sends it right there...you can have them sent to your email but no use junking it up...google will set you up with a little "recommended pack" to get your started and so you get used to it...I hate the news and I hate the newspaper but this makes it so much better b/c you only see the headline and you figure out if its worth reading or not

I also added ABC13 and News and Advance so I get local news as well

I discussed my favorite RSS feeder in the Blackberry Apps thread. Its called Viigo and it blows the Google product away. But lately it has had a few days where their servers have become overloaded due to their explosive growth. Use the browser on your mobile device to go here:

BTW El Scorcho had set up an RSS feed of FlameFans that was pretty cool. But it wasn't working the last time I checked.

i'm sad something may be better than google...I'll have to check it out....ALTHOUGH I can read my rss feeds on my cell phone from google...CAN YOU!!?!??!?!?!

[LUconn]

is this thread an attemt to suggest the implementation of an RSS feed from this site to any administrator who can do this that may be reading? Some of the other boards I frequent have them I noticed.

I downloaded the latest version of Google Apps for my Blackberry this past week when the old version finally died. I have both Google Reader & Viigo on my Blackberry but I rarely use Google's. I'm probably going to take it off to make room for some of the other new Google Apps coming out.

[Sly Fox]

BTW HMO, what mobile device are you toting these days?

[Hold My Own]

why dont they make google apps for Palm! ugh!

[Hold My Own]

I kinda answered your question before you asked it...Treo 755...its just one of the best phones I've had...but I'm waiting for the iphone or the Gphone to come to sprint

[Sly Fox]

Now that you are an entrepreneur why not put on the big boy pants and step up to Blackberry?

I admit I am curious to see what the finished product looks like from Google.

[JDUB]

i've been using RSS for almost a year. i use the igoogle home page, and have several feeds integrated into it. i love it b/c i have google portfolios and can see my stock stuff, i have my gmail on there, and i have my favorite feeds, along with google news. so i can see everything in 30 seconds. i love google

HEY NOW...ha...I've had the BB...I just dont like not having the touch screen! Take a quick survey of CEO's you're seeing now a days under the age of 35 and see what they are using....I'm just sayin!

[JDUB]

so you're a ceo now? i guess you can call yourself whatever if you own the LU tanning empire

[Sly Fox]

The CEOs I wotrk with are all over 35 and have incomes larger than most Eastern European GDPs. They all rock the latest Blackberries as they come out. Instant info beats ADD gimmicks any day of the week.

[Hold My Own]

ha...no I wasnt saying that...but after looking at the definition I'd fall under that...ps..its not just an LU empire...we will expand...brewhahahahahahhaha



EDIT: Sly I couldnt help but notice the OVER 35 part...these young guns with their Treo's and Iphones will get to that salary one day...and they will take their Treo/iphone with them!

[JDUB]

maybe i should buy into it, sounds like its gonna be huge!! i better get in early, right haha

[Hold My Own]

I'll let you know when the IPO hits...

[Sly Fox]

Seriously, the Treo is a good product as well. And once you download Viigo you will be hooked.

[Hold My Own]

I'll have to PM you soon...I have been thinking about making a switch...I generally dont like keeping the same phone to long...thats what insurance is for...I'm just trying to figure out this Iphone and Gphone deal though and see which one will be CDMA...I'm also interested in hearing about the apps you can add on and all the latest "ADD gimmicks" that tickles my ADD bone

[JDUB]

schorcho told me there is no insurance available for the iphone. i would not buy one without insurance, because if you drop it on the screen its done

[Sly Fox]

A buddy if mine who is the son of a former heavyweight champion of the world "(when it meant something) dropped his within a week of their release. Dude was devastated.

Thats good info right there...b/c as of right now I'm getting a new Treo every 6 months...right about that time it starts getting battle wounds...I love insurance...like Chris Rock say's Insurance should be called "incase (crap)...but if (crap) doesnt happen...shouldnt we get our money back?"


Why no insurance? That doesnt make sense to me

[JDUB]

cause they dont want to give a new iphone out to everyone every 6 months

[Hold My Own]

really funny....I guess you have a point
