Reading RSS Feeds On Your Mobile
This will be the first in a series features, tips, and tricks that are in the Skweezer software that make the mobile experience better.
Tip: Read the Feed To Increase The Speed!
A lot of times when you’re browsing the net using Skweezer, you go to a page, and you’re like “Hmmm, where’s that part of the page I’m looking for?” This will happen particularly on a low- or mid-range mobile phone that has a limited memory size, and Skweezer has to break up the content into multiple page sections for the user.
Nonetheless, a really great way to see what’s going on in a website is to browse the site’s RSS feed(s) inside of Skweezer.
| To demonstrate this, I’ll go to the People Magazine website via Skweezer: | |
| Upon loading the People.com homepage, you’ll see the page “skweezed”. Notice at the top… you’ll also see a link that’s followed by “[RSS]”: |  |
| This is People’s designated feed for their content. Skweezer will interpret it—just like normal XHTML content—and display the feed as a “list” in a great format. This is good for someone just “looking” before they commit to viewing: |  |
As you see above, People.com lists all their articles in a very nice “list” formatted by Skweezer. A user can conveniently go down the list—”boom-boom-boom”—and decide what to view!
Bonus Tip: Create an account, and save all your skweezed RSS links to your Favorites for even faster access to site content!
