Re: [RSS][Facebook][Twitter][Google+] Thoughts on newsreaders

 

I quite feel this idea is really good, I like how HTC BlinkFeed works and
might be a very good idea trying to eliminate the Facebook/Twitter/Youtube
trademark problem.

It would also be nice if the Unity Scopes would also show information from
these sources. Not sure how this would fit in the current SmartScopes
architecture, because it seems it now depends on a Server/Client
architecture, although the Facebook and Twitter APIs allow for tokenized
offline access.
