So, Google Reader is changing, integrating itself into Google+

I understand a lot of people wish they had some form of control over how they veiw their rss feeds in Google Reader.

Personally, I like to see all my feeds in a 'river' of news.

Just for fun, I rolled my own version of a reader, with a combo of the river view that I like and the 'mailboxes' view that others dig so much.

I manage all of this in a point and click interface with the OPML Editor and the output is rendered through my World Outline. (screenshot)

From the river view I can also download pdocasts directly and RT stories to my blog, my tumblr and twitter with a single click. (Screenshot)

Best of all, I can manage my feeds on every computer I own. I never have to worry about synching of my feeds or views.

And, I get to use is on my own domain name: reader.curry.com

In may I decided to switch from my iPhone to an Android based phone. I've been updating on my experience, with the last post from the road in August, when I changed from the stock OS to Cyanogenmod.

While this isn't a path most consumers will take, I fully enjoy being able to manage more than just the apps on my phone and like all aspects of the experience I have created for myself.

A fully rooted, customized experience.

I doubt I will ever go back to Apple's mobile products, although I remain a staunch user of their desktops and laptops pre-Lion.
