I've been playing around with the
Pulse iPhone app and I'm loving it. Very simple idea it takes 20 of your favourite rss feeds and displays them in a grid pattern with a prominent picture. It's a very similar concept to the BBC app.
It may seem gimmicky but having the pictures there makes a real difference and shows the power of imagery in grabbing peoples attention.
If I have any criticisms they that you can only add 20 feeds, and most annoyingly lots of my feeds don't have pictures combined with the stories.
Get it from the app store for £1.19 for the iPhone.
