I like RSS. I like having information shipped to me, corralled by my RSS reader, and served up nice and neat. My fellow Tridea partner, John, likes getting his information the old fashion way; cruising to websites repeatedly. Sure, I venture to sites as much as the next guy, but sometimes I just want to know the most up-to-date content without running around the Internet.

Previously, I used the free RSS reader service from Bloglines.com. After disliking the fact that Google Reader didn’t pull in images from the sites I liked, I switched to Bloglines and was a faithful user of their site for over 2 years. With Bloglines, I would log in to my account on their site and there were all my feeds. Nice and neat. I was living the good life.

Then I got an iPhone. And I wanted my RSS feeds on it! All of a sudden logging in to Bloglines seemed like too much. At that time, on a mobile browser, Bloglines isn’t that great (Note: they’ve since created a mobile version that is better). So I went looking for an RSS iPhone app.

Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I got some good recommendations and came across NetNewsWire. It is a RSS Reader application. Instead of logging in, I load the application and-BOOM-my feeds are there and begin updating. I loved it. Clean, organized, iPhone-tastic! But there’s more!

NetNewsWire is also a Mac application! So I get news to my phone, read it, and when I get home my feeds are updated to reflect the content I’ve already checked out. It’s great. And it’s free. So, take my advice and get some RSS in your life! Starting with our blog!
