Low reliability, a feature set that could fit on the back of a business card, and only basic functionality. The only reason I use Twitter is because it's the market leader in microblogging.

Twitter now offers 'lists' which allow you to group your followers and/or non-followers into different lists (public or private), so perhaps subjects include family, friends, co-workers, etc. This is especially useful if you are following thousands of people, and want to see just a certain amount of peoples' tweets without unfollowing thousands of people, or constantly checking various profiles for new updates. 2009-09-07T14:15:12Z 88330 0 Doesn't really do anything you can't easily do otherwise.

That said, it's still short on key features: 1) Autorefreshing 2) The ability to notify users when a specific feed/feed folder has new items. It's also painfully slow compared to locally executed RSS readers such as NewsFox. However one can't help but love its sharing component, as well as its ability to merge all the feeds in a folder into a giant metafeed that can be read by another reader. Oh, and any feed you subscribe to becomes completely searchable, which makes finding old news items a breeze. 663560453 2008-05-14T09:36:24Z 114938 2146-01-13T16:43:14Z Google Reader 14000 2009-12-07T06:54:30Z http://www.google.com/reader http://wakoopa.com/software/google-reader http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/147/565/normal.png?1253655191 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/147/565/thumb.png?1253655191 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc 22 RSS Readers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/rss-readers web Google Reader is an online RSS Reader by Google, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline (using Google Gears). 2009-05-30T16:27:01Z 63340 0 Last.fm is a great site for serious music fans. That said: 1) The subscriber service isn't worth paying for 2) Features such as real-time profile updates, Twitter integration, Recommended Journal reading, an RSS feed for each user's activities, a way to "follow" your friends on the service and an official Facebook app that actually works are missing. 3 stars on Features and Price/Value. 5 otherwise. 133512299 2008-10-09T22:08:02Z 151342 2146-01-10T18:34:55Z Last.fm 14530 2009-12-07T10:04:04Z http://www.Last.fm http://wakoopa.com/software/last-fm http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/802/normal.png?1252525233 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/802/thumb.png?1252525233 7824 Last.fm Ltd. http://wakoopa.com/developers/lastfm-ltd 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Last.fm is a UK-based Internet radio and music community website, founded in 2002. It claims over 21 million active users based in more than 200 countries. On 30 May 2007, CBS Interactive acquired Last.fm for £140m ($280m USD). Using a music recommendation system called "Audioscrobbler", Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of all the songs the user listens to, either on the streamed radio stations or on the user's computer or some portable music devices. This information is transferred to Last.fm's database ("scrobbled") via a plugin installed into the user's music player. The profile data is then displayed on the user's profile page. The site offers numerous social networking features and can recommend and play artists similar to the user's favourites. Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, or download tracks if the rights holder has previously authorised it. Registration is required to acquire a profile but is not necessary to view any part of the site or to listen to radio stations. Only free in the U.S., Germany and U.K. 2009-04-29T03:34:30Z 56320 0 Absolutely horrible. Rendering problems, terrible font and appearance, slow, and lacking functionality.
