As a result, many individuals now rely heavily on these services to share and receive information and news.īut because no platform was as good a syndicate as an RSS feed, the state debated and adopted newer versions. These platforms made features far beyond aggregation by making it simple to share information through videos and pictures and comment on them. A lot of people flocked to these to subscribe to others, have others follow them, and share, as well as to receive updates in real-time, multiple times per day, from a wide variety of people and organizations. Mainstream social networks quickly followed in the middle 2000s as the 'Web' was introduced, and throughout the years, they have spread like wildfire. These were times much before the advent of the real 'web' and, therefore, were days when RSS was very popular because it successfully gathered data from various sources in one place and made this aggregation easy. In the early digital age, when Internet Explorer and Firefox were only about to come into the common folks' vocabulary, content consumers as adopters of the media sites and software implementations were first introduced to RSS.

If you are not using an iPhone, it redirects you to the regular mobile reader. But tacking "iPhone" onto the name is sure a good way to get some publicity, eh? Edit: I've been informed that the mobile reader for iPhone is, in fact, a different application than the old mobile reader from NewsGator. Of course, technically speaking this isn't really Apple-specific news, as you don't need an iPhone to use it. "At NewsGator, we are committed to developing new ways for people to easily and quickly access their favorite feeds, and we are inspired to deliver outstanding experiences on the iPhone so that people can have the power of information within their reach at anytime." "The iPhone provides a best-of-breed mobile experience that is in line with our focus on creating exceptional reading products," NewsGator's Brian Kellner said in a statement. And if you read them from the mobile version and mark them as read, they won't show up as new when you get home to your desktop reader. That is, if you use NNW on one computer with a NewsGator Online account to sync up your read items and whatnot, the mobile version will take that into account and only display to you items in your feed list that were unread. ![]() ![]() The obvious benefit to NewsGator Mobile for iPhone is that if you already use a NewsGator Online account, either online or in conjunction with any of NewsGator's products (like NNW for the Mac or its Windows software), the mobile version will sync up with all of your other RSS habits. The reader is called NewsGator Mobile for iPhone, according to the parent company to the popular NetNewsWire RSS reader (watch our video interview with Brent Simmons of NetNewsWire and NewsGator), and was designed for the iPhone's unique touchscreen interface. NewsGator announced a new mobile RSS reader specifically designed for the iPhone today. ![]()
