Apps of the Week - Feed Readers
There are a bazillion feed readers available.
Flipboard was one of the first I downloaded and used. It is easy to customize and can include Social feeds, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, etc. It sets your pages up to read like a magazine, and you "turn" the pages of your feeds.
G-Whizz! Has become my go-to reader. It has a plain vanilla layout, but in addition to some of my social feeds, I have direct access to my other google accounts, such as Docs, Voice, Maps, and Calendar. The only one it doesn't access is Blogger. There is a free version that opens to a full-screen ad, or the ad-free option is $2.99.
What is your feed reader of choice?
