Mobile news feeds
Dave Winer is excited about mobile news and has set up a plain text river of news for the NY Times, suitable for accessing on your mobile phone. Cool.
Maybe I should roll out waproll.com again (except without the wap). Back in 2003 waproll sucked in RSS feeds and converted them to navigable wap ‘decks’, which worked nicely and provided access to about 150 popular news/blog feeds. I used to read the news on my old T610 riding the number 16 bus into downtown Houston, but I ended up shuttering the service when WINKsite came along. While there’s more ‘usability overhead’ involved in accessing a WINK account, the additional functionality made it worthwhile.
It has always amazed me that mobile news apps havn’t been more buzzed.
