I love iGoogle as an RSS reader because it’s got a beautifully simplistic interface with a google search box that we can use as our homepage. But iGoogle lacks two things of great value: feeds by keywords and a decent mobile RSS reader. In comes Newsgator to save the day with their amazing RSS reading products: web based, mobile, and even an outlook plug-in. Their mobile RSS reader isn’t brand new, but it’s newly free and it’s REALLY amazing.
You can set up your feeds on the web based product and they’ll appear on your mobile device in a logical easy to use interface. It works with your windows mobile phone and blackberry device. You can set up smart feeds (based on keyword) and read them on your phone or on the web.

That crazy Blackberry. Once you think you have it all figured, it does something RIMmarkable and makes you smile. They’ve released new instant messenger clients for the Blackberry, they’re free, and you can download them to your phone.
This is shameless. I have created this post to draw my colleagues to my blog once again. What makes it worse is that I better understand my need for attention after taking the DiSC personality profile at my monthly departmental meeting. It says that I require “enthusiastic public praise for my verbal ability and interpersonal skills”. So colleagues, after reading this, please respond appropriately — I need it. And it will help you better communicate with me… and Sonia said.
