Read Articles From Your Favorite Websites in River of News Format
Planetaki is a new service that helps you read articles from different websites at one place in a format similar to river of news. This is a completely different concept from regular RSS readers like Bloglines or Google Reader.
Here all the articles are displayed with a short summary on one page and sorted in reverse chronological order so you can very quickly scan through all pending news items.
The "River of News" view is extremely useful when you are reading news on the move (like a mobile phone) or have to deal with RSS overload - just create a news river using couple of your favourite sites and ignore everything else.
Here’s a sample news river created using BBC, New York Times and labnol - reading becomes more convenient when you have few articles and they are all one page.
Planetaki also lets you can save links for reading the corresponding story later.

You said this is a completely different concept from regular RSS readers. But I’m confused. How is it different from creating a tag in gReader then clicking on that tab (not the feed) to show all items them scan through them? I created a tag called “top” with my favorite feeds so if I don’t have much time, I go there and read it as a river.
Rob, its different because you know what you’re doing, and know what RSS and “tag” mean. In Planetaki, knowing these concepts is not important.
As a tech guy, I use both Planetaki and google Reader to keep up to date. Planetaki is now my favourite, as its quick and effortless, and I know if I load up gReader, I’m going to be there for while :-) sam
Worth a try. I am going to test if this method is much more powerful than FeedDemon “Next” button.
