Manage Your RSS Feeds with Good Noows
Let’s face it. These days you can’t just rely on books to stay on the top of your industry. While you don’t want to let your RSS feeds make you less productive, you do want to keep up with them as much as you can. Plenty of people, including yours truly, use Google Reader to get the job done. It’s quite a powerful tool and has a ton of features for saving and sharing information with others. It can get a bit overwhelming if you have too many feeds in your account. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could customize the look and feel of Google Reader to go through the new content more effectively? Good Noows is an exciting news reader application that lets you create your own mini newspaper online, getting a better sense of the top stories in your industry.
Good Noows not only lets you keep track of your favorite website, but it also can accept your own RSS feeds too. So you can customize the information displayed on your front-page. You can even create new news sections (think of it as categories or folders) and add your favorite feeds to them. I also love the fact that you can customize Good Noows layout easily.
As you can see in the above screen-shot, you can add new sections as well as new sources of information to your account. You get plenty of layouts to choose from too. The service lets you change the font size and translate your news to a language that you can understand (if English is not your first language). You can also share your favorite stories right from your front-page.
I would not use this service as my main RSS reader. But it is an invaluable tool if you want to identify stories that are worth reading quickly. The service needs a bit of work and hopefully more features will be added to it in the future. The concept is awesome though.
