Pulling down the most important up to date [or up to the second] is extremely important for certain individuals. Staying at the top of their game, and a top of the current news feeds helps them gain an extreme competitive advantage.
For some time now, I have been searching out the best possible way to manage RSS feeds on mobile devices so I can stay in tune with industry related news the second it drops. Netvibes has recently launched a new mobile service. This new service allows users pull in Netvibes feeds to their mobile devices. Netvibes is a custom Ajax start page that allows you to pull in all important RSS feeds and modules displaying them in one easy to read location in a browser window.
Start the service rolling by logging into your Netvibes account and starting a new “Mobile” tab, dropping in your desired RSS feeds and modules that you would like access to from your mobile device. Choose for notes, to dos, gmail, calendars, weather, and many different types of image and web searches. From your mobile device access http://m.netvibes.com from a browser, this will display your feeds in a plain text format all in one location. No more extensive data usage, or time wasted from visiting multiple locations. The information is displayed in a clean text format that is easy to read, and refresh on your mobile. The service worked so excellent on my Blackberry device when I tested it, that I will continue to use it to receive important information while on the go.
