Read it Later introduces iPhone app

Read It Later is a service that lets you bookmark webpages to, as the name would suggest, read later. We first covered it when it was just a Firefox extension, but it's evolved quite a bit since then. The new iPhone app is particularly nice, offering offline reading of your saved pages, and a text-only reading mode that brings to mind the similar Instapaper app.

Read it Later's iPhone app brings all of the web features of Read It Later elegantly to the iPhone. Even without an Internet connection, you can view saved pages in their original form or as plain text. Quite importantly, the iPhone app also syncs article with the web version. If you buy the pro edition of the app, you can also save things from Safari in your iPhone via a bookmarklet.

myFeedz social newspaper from Adobe

myfeedz by adobeAdobe released its first look at the newly re-branded myFeedz.com social news site on Friday. The website learns what users like and keeps up with interests in order to serve content. It all started when InterAKT launched their public beta last August, and sold to Adobe a month later. The service is now located deep-within Adobe's Labs, who have been on a web 2.0 kick lately. myFeedz is aimed at finding what's important for the user out there in the crazy overpopulated field of content feeds from the web.

myFeedz helps users keep track of and sift through the endless amounts of information and trends they are interested in, all the while offering relevant information as to their interests. Users begin by importing RSS feeds from favorite websites using OPML, dropping a list of keywords, browsing articles by tags, reading, writing, and rating articles. Articles can then be saved and archived for later reading, and RSS feeds can be exported for you topic of interest.

The site was extremely slow during my testing. Still being in the "lab" format, little issues can be expected. I just hope they get things sorted out fast; This seems like a great little tool!

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, ...
