Bible Verse of the Day

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” -1 Peter 1:18-19 Listen to chapter

News RSS Readers

Hi Everyone,

We can our PCs and mobile devices such as IPad and smartphones to get the latest news. Here are some of the notable apps that I use:

Flipboard

Available on iOS, it is one of the best apps on IPad and the IPhone. I like the interface and the mini graphics for the news. It provides a summary of the news and provides the full link to the full website.

 

Google Reader

It is a very good news reader. I can add the RSS feeds from newspapers websites (BBC, CNN, The Star), magazines (Readers Digest, Popular Science), blogs and websites such as Paul Tan Automotive Blog.

Unfortunately, it will be retired on 1st July 2013. I have downloaded the archive using Google Takeout.




Mobile RSS Reader

It is able to connect to Google Reader and supports other RSS Feeds as well. We can get the latest news updates. 


Feedly

This is an app available on both Firefox' App Store and Chrome Web Store. Similar to Flipboard, it provides a graphical summary of the news for the day. It is connected to the powerful Google reader whereby all the news from the different sources are summarised into a single page. You can click individual news feeds as well. For example, clicking on BBC will list down the BBC news for the day. 


All these provide a summary of the news and the link to the full details of the news.

Cheers,

Rogerkoo

Feedly helps migrate from Google Reader. It is not connected to it. So you do not need to download the archive for that. :)
