I
Love "Pulse"
app on my Android. It provides all my news feeds in a cool mosaic view. If you
have not heard of it or tried it . I would recommend you to check it out. Here
is the description of the app.
"A beautiful application that makes
reading news fun and engaging.Pulse News is a beautiful app that takes your
favorite websites and transforms them into a colorful and interactive mosaic.
Tap on an article to see a clean and elegant view of the news story. Save
stories for reading later across all platforms or sync them with Instapaper,
Read it Later and Evernote. Sharing a story via Facebook, Twitter and email is
as easy as two taps."
It
is available in IOS platform as well. So, iPad and iPhone users can
also enjoy this great app.
After
looking at Pulse, somehow I started disliking the text based news/rss readers
like Google Reader, NetNewsWire etc., I started missing Pulse when I was
at my computer ( Pulse does not exist for desktops yet). So, I started my
search in finding a similar desktop equivalent that i can use. With a little
bit of research and trying out few websites/apps, i could find this browser
extension called Feedly.
Feedly
is a great way of reading news on browsers. It provides extensions to
chrome/firefox/safari. It also provides apps for Android and iOS. You can
explore your interests by just typing your topic of interest and see the list
of websites/news feeds you can follow. It can also synch your feeds with Google
Reader. It has a nice look and feel. You can customize/personalize the look as
well. Check out their video.

I know there are other
alternatives for such services. Even I tried few others but settled down with Feedly for my desktop and Pulse for my Mobile and Tablet.
