Hi Guys,

If what you want is the ability to skim large #s of headlines, organize lots of feeds, label them, tag articles for later reading in one fast unobtrusive "no magazine layout" reader, SwarmIQ is your choice. Sign up at http://www.swarmiq.com/register/askhn , click on the Google reader icon to get all your feeds, and get up and running straight away.

www.swarmiq.com is our landing page if you want to see some screenshots and get a sense of what the service is like before signing up.

Disclosure: I'm on the team that built this site :-) Also, we don't have "Google Alerts" type functionality yet.

Hi Dylangs, Thank you for your valuable feedback.

- Screenshots: We're going to have those up on the home page shortly.

- Differentiated User experience: We've really worked hard at making it as easy as possible for users to fulfil certain tasks. Our objective is to have the functionality be self-evident and not require a manual or a help page to use the website. We have some pretty powerful customization options.

- This is a great point. We're just about coming to parity w.r.t Google reader-like functionality and we're late. However we believe our next release which will focus on personalization and making greater use of user training data will set us apart and deliver highly tailored relevant news to our users, cutting down the clutter.

We are actively working on supporting other encodings and non-english RSS feeds. However, we currently do not support encoding other than ISO8859.

We currently do not have a Google Reader compatible API that can serve as a swap-in replacement for your iPhone app. We're working on building an API and should have it ready for use in the coming weeks.

This is completely unsubstantiated speculation and completely untrue. Could you please refrain from spamming our post with these comments.

Hi, Please let us know if you're still having trouble signing up. We're seeing registrations coming through successfully.

Hi Robert, Is there something wrong with asking one's friends to sign up and share their experiences and give us an upvote. Not sure why you're going through all this trouble to figure out what is generally an obvious thing for any site seeking traction to do.
