Nice Mac-like theme for Google Reader
I'm a real fan of Google Reader. It's quick, easy and accessable from my browser, so I don't have to keep a second app open just to check my feeds. There is one thing it lacks, however, and that's a Mac-like appearance.That's why I like this theme by Hicksdesign. It will work with Firefox, Camino, Safari, Opera and Omniweb and looks great. The "add a subscription" window even has a nice, smoky transparency.Please note, as the author does, that Google could change the code of Reader at any time, causing you trouble if you're using this theme. With that in mind, try it out! It looks really good. While you're at it, why not give Bloglines a Mac Makeover, too?Thanks, jopari!
NewsBreak v2.0 mobile RSS & podcast reader released
Tired of using Bloglines Mobile? How about Google Reader for Mobile? Both are decent RSS options for all that wireless RSS news reading (or blog reading), but just in case you need an installed proggy for that WM Smartphone or Pocket PC, how about NewsBreak? NewsBreak 2.0 has just been released and the upgrade contains some pretty significant updates from the prior 1.2 version. Among them: get podcast (enclosure) support, get a look at attached images and files, podcast download scheduling, new keyword icons and Windows Live Search integration for mobile search. Yeah, we like search choice too (Google, Yahoo!?) but at least you can download the trial and test drive it. If you purchased NewsBreak 1.2, you can even get a free upgrade to version 2.0.[Via Mobility Site]
Make Bloglines look more Mac like
It is the perennial debate amongst RSS newsreader users, do you use a desktop application or a web application? Our very own David Chartier has made the jump to Google Reader, but they aren't the only guys in town with a recent upgrade. Bloglines has overhauled their service, and it is much more usable now. Sadly, as Jon Hicks points out, the default look is very... Windows like. This will not do for us, fellow Mac users, so Jon created a pretty sweet new style and has made it publicly available.[via Sample the Web]
