Feedly - the best RSS reader yet?


My latest web tool discovery and best mate is Feedly. All thanks to my employer's director who'd been nagging me for a better RSS Feed Reader other than Google Reader and Netvibes. Even if you're not that familiar with RSS or you're just a bit lazy, you can add sources by just pasting in the web address. It integrates all the news, blogs and other sites' feeds into a magazine-style format. It also integrates with your Twitter account and Facebook if you want to share an interesting link.

The set up and menu are a little confusing at first and Feedly has to be a browser add-on meaning you can only view it on your own PC. Also, no Internet Explorer option either so Firefox or Chrome only. Feedly will also recommend other blogs that match your interest and I've since discovered some great content.

Have found some handy videos on YouTube. The video below is possibly the best to explain Feedly. Otherwise you try this one for better quality images.http://www.flickr.com/photos/gingerdjrob/4266079644/

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo
