So much for my time away from the computer
venturebeat.com — Two things about me: 1) I always have my nose buried in my iPhone. 2) I always have Google Reader open in my web browser at home. Putting those two together, you might have thought I was a heavy user of the Google Reader app for the iPhone, but I really wasn’t. I did like it a lot, but only in spurts.
bamafun- 291 diggs
- digg it
- solemnraven, on 05/13/2008, -24/+9like seriously? 86 diggs and front page???
- ninjasaurus, on 05/13/2008, -10/+4Like seirously, STFU?
- migitalwarfare, on 05/13/2008, -2/+10how many god damn times does it need to be explained
- ninjasaurus, on 05/13/2008, -4/+2Exactly! Maybe my STFU was a bit too harsh, but people need to stop crying. If people like it, it will be dug, and be put on the front page.
- Bornhuetter, on 05/13/2008, -5/+31So you really can get any article on the front page just by using the word "iPhone"...
- Bronowyn, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2I don't know the mechanism of diggs to front page, but i always assumed that the speed of digging along with the number of diggs is what got something to the front page.
I'm probably wrong, but that would explain all the low numbers on the front page. - jarkkop, on 05/13/2008, -4/+3Who cares if it's on the front page?
The last time I needed to view the front page was sometime in 2006.

- jamestwisleton, on 05/13/2008, -5/+31Good to see the iPhone is finally being posted about on Digg.
- DCGUY12, on 05/13/2008, -7/+5I have a Blackberry Curve, which in my personal opinion is better than the iPhone in some ways, although it has a smaller screen granted I can type much faster than the average iPhone user.
I've pimped it with the iPhone icons, and have all of the Google apps a boy could want on it, Twitter berry and Facebook feature. Also have WeatherBug Direct for weather icon that shows the temp and forecast.
So, that being said, where's the Google Reader improvement for my Blackberry? I just tried the beta on mine and it does nothing.- orangefly, on 05/13/2008, -3/+9the googles do nothing
- DCGUY12, on 05/13/2008, -2/+3On further testing, Opera Browser it works somewhat well, although missing some icons.
- orangefly, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1simpsons joke man....not ripping on anything....

- drkmccrthy, on 05/13/2008, -2/+24Q: Does this article offer any insight or even an interesting point of view about google reader's update?
A: no. - Theril, on 05/13/2008, -3/+4So every website is an "iPhone app" these days? And does this make my browser an iPhone emulator?
- stalefries, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1"And does this make my browser an iPhone emulator?"
Only for very small values of "iPhone"
- stalefries, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1"And does this make my browser an iPhone emulator?"
- sheepster, on 05/13/2008, -3/+7buried for being lame.
- dogbyte_13, on 05/13/2008, -3/+5buried, blog spam!!
- saturnx8, on 05/13/2008, -2/+4um well that says to me you are a huge dork and have no life if tech is always in your face. I personally like to get away from electronic media when my day is done and I've done my 8-12 hour tech hell day. I hate the droves of dorks nose to their blackberry and iphone. Nothing better to me than going somewhere there is no reception and no one can bother me.
- bjs3171, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1you're ALWAYS burried in something that came out under a year ago?
- AzMegladon, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1"I always have my nose buried in my iPhone" ....no need to read any further, you are a moron : )
- Chesko, on 05/13/2008, -1/+2Albiet this wasn't a very interesting article, I was unaware of a new Google Reader for iPhone beta until now. It really is much better than before, and I probably wouldn't have heard about it otherwise.
- milkmage, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1...in other news, I like fresh garlic on my pizza.
- kyouteki, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4Could have done with a more informative title. "Google releases new-improved Reader for iPhone" perhaps?
