Regator comes to iPhone

Blogs are a dime-a-dozen these days. There's no shortage of sites dedicated to posting articles on just about anything you could possibly be interested in. Regator.com, a website dedicated to sifting through the countless blogs on the internet has finally released their own companion iPhone application.

If you're not familiar with Regator, it's a great web resource that highlights the web's best posts from the web's best blogs. It acts as a news aggregator breaking down blog sites into categories and offering a fun way to discover content on the internet. The new application, Regator for iPhone [iTunes Link] promises much of the same thing with a slick and easy to use interface and some great features.

So what makes Regator for iPhone so great? It's the only mobile application that allows users to browse, search, share and read thousands of the web's best blogs. It might sound a lot like an RSS reader, but it's so much more than that. By collecting, sorting and providing readers with thousands of articles, it's an easy source for news on almost any subject.

I was lucky enough to get a pre-release copy of Regator to test it out. The application was extremely easy to use and I was able to quickly find content on almost any subject I could think of. The biggest problem for me, is knowing what I want to read about but not knowing where to find it. With the application, I discovered some great new blogs and articles.

Comparable to an RSS reader, Regator differs in one big way. Instead of showing content from the websites you happen to subscribe to, it can pull the most relevant content on whatever you're looking for from the best websites, some you may not even know about. The trends view is an awesome way to find out what the current buzz is all about - much like Twitter's trends.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a great way to discover content quickly and easily, there's no better way to do it than with Regator. It takes all the work out of searching for news leaving you with fresh, readable content all housed within one great app.

Regator for iPhone is free and available starting today on iTunes.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
