Halo Feature for Android
A new concept from Paranoid Android called Halo, which takes Chat Heads to the extreme, is looking to change the entire mobile experience as we know it. Instead of confined to just messages, Halo is a tweak that handles notifications from any application in that familiar Chat Head UI.
The virtues of an open platform.
New alternative to Google Reader
Feed Wrangler is a brand new RSS service from my pal, David Smith. It’s $19/year and comes with a free universal iOS app. An OS X client is on the way and a full-featured API will be opened up in the next few weeks to allow 3rd-party devs to build their own Feed Wrangler apps.
I’m pleased to see another alternative to Google Reader surface, as I certainly don’t feel inundated by the vast number of options available in this market. I actually started using Feedbin a few days a go and, at the moment, I have no quarrels with it. Oh, and the fact that Reeder — one of the various iOS applications that I live in — recently introduced support for Feedbin is simply poetic. I hear betaworks is working on a product of their own; that should prove interesting.
