Web Feed Readers Dissected By TechCrunch

Frank Gruber

TechCrunch screen-shot of the post on Online Feed Readers by Frank Gruber I wrote a guest post that just was published on , the weblog tracking Web 2.0, titled The State of Online Feed Readers. I analyzed the leading web-based feed readers and a few up and coming readers and compared them.

Thank you Mike Arrington for the opportunity. It was my pleasure to write the post. I hope you enjoy it. If you like the review please Digg it here

NOTE: TechCrunch is not being renamed SomewhatFrankCrunch as I might have joked about previously.

I've just read TechCrunch's comparison of web-based feed readers. Here's what I took away from it. There's nothing there that makes me want to move away from Bloglines. That's not to say that I have reason to believe that Bloglines is the best of th... [Read More]

Congratulations on your guest writing for TechCrunch! Great post & Great exposure!

der. alluded.

Hi Frank,

I wondering if you could give a frank review on
http://www.mytoday.com/
we also have our mobile version available at:
http://m.mytoday.com/

Personalization is not yet enabled. But we are looking for 'reading lists' (OPMLs) - the same name you are using. You mind mailing me yours so that we can share it with the users?

Also - we are opening a wiki soon - so that we can have more user involvement in the types of Dailies (public RSS) so that we can take RSS to the masses.

You can find the wiki at:
http://mytoday.wikispaces.com/

Thanks,
+Vinu
Product Manager, MyToday Team

I would like to interview you for a book I'm writing called "Life After the Press Release"

I've just finished building this RSS feed reader. I know it lacks many features when compared to others out there, It is my first try though. I plan to extend its features with time. But I believe it tackles the idea of displaying multiple feeds in a new way. Let me know what you think.
