News Feeds

Newsreaders aggregate your reading material into one place, which is great if you only have one device you use for reading.

If you have multiple, it gets really annoying when you’ve read an article on one device but it still shows as new on the other. Here are a few optinos to keep your mobile reading in sync with the desktop.

Google Reader

You don’t necessarily need an app on your iPhone to manage your RSS feeds. Using an iPhone browser—preferably one like Atomic Browser that supports true tabbed browsing—the Google Reader web app does the job perfectly well. For Google devotees, just save a home screen bookmark and make Google Reader your newsfeed “app” instead. [Google Reader]

NetNewsWire, NewsRack, and Reeder

NetNewsWire has been the king of newsfeed synchronizing on the Mac for a long time, back before Google purchased NewsGator and the application switched to sync with Google Reader. It wasn’t long before they created an app for iOS and it became one of the better news readers available. Since it’s free, it’s really hard to pass up. Then again, apps like NewsRack and Reeder will cost you a little money, but they provide alternative interfaces and additional features. NetNewsWire should get the job done just fine on the iPhone, but NewsRack and Reeder tend to shine a bit more on the iPad. If you’ve got both an iPad and an iPhone, they’re worth a look.
