Easier feedreading on an iPhone
On my iPhone, I use Google Reader (mobile edition) and Tweetie to follow RSS feeds and Twitter respectively. I star items which look interesting, to save for later reading.
A little Yahoo Pipe combines the RSS feeds of these two sets of starred items, and I’ve put together a little script (using SimplePie) optimised for the iPhone layout to:
- Display the combined list of the latest starred items
- Highlight Twitter content (with a blue background) to distinguish from blogs
- Use CSS to highlight items I’ve read
Simple as that. Let’s see if it improves the ‘starred items’ reading experience on the train journey…
