Mobispine Mobile News Aggregator Buying RSS Reader NewsAlloy

Mobile newsreader service Mobispine is acquiring NewsAlloy, an Ajax, web-based RSS reader, intending to merge the two in to a “seamless” product offering personalized newsfeeds across desktop and mobile. The acquisition price is not disclosed. The NewsAlloy website claims 11,331 registered users, and Stockholm-based Mobispine says it has over 300,000 active mobile users per month. Somewhat ambitiously, they are targeting 10 million users for the combined operation. The online RSS reader game is frankly a tough challenge, in the face of mature offerings from bigger players like Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Reader, Bloglines and easier alternatives like My Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO). But Mobispine says its NewsAlloy combination can offer “a welcome change” that can be used by “everyone from tweens to seniors”.

Linguistic Problems of GPL Advocacy

Reader Chemisor advances a theory in his journal that a linguistic misunderstanding is at the root of many disagreements over different licensing philosophies, in particular BSD vs. GPL. The argument is that GPL adherents desire the freedom of their code, while those on the BSD side want freedom for their projects. "It is difficult to spend a week on Slashdot without colliding with a GPL advocate. Eager to spread their philosophy, they proselytize to anyone willing to listen, and to many who are not. When they collide with a BSD advocate, such as myself, a heated flamewar usually erupts with each side repeating the same arguments over and over, failing to understand how the other party can be so stupid as to not see the points that appear so obvious and right.

MP3 Blogs Have Hipster Readers; Make For A Perfect Ad Network

Here’s a quick summary of Fortune’s look at the world of MP3 blogs: Sites like Peter Rojas’ RCRD LBL and TheFader.com attract hip readers that advertisers salivate over. But on their own, they’re too small to easily attract big advertisers. The familiar solution: an MP3 blog network. Music marketers Jon Cohen and Rob Stone of Cornerstone Promotions (which owns TheFader) have already sold Fortune 500 advertisers like Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) and Toyota on the network, which claims 240,000 readers. That’s basically the news, and the rest reads kind of like an ad for Cohen and Stone to pitch advertisers on the notion that their network of MP3 blogs is a great place to reach the right audience.

Google Now Allows You To Pick Your Friends in Reader

Last year, Google caused a bit of a furor when it expanded the sharing capabilities of Google Reader, the company’s service for viewing blogs. The main complaint was that Google assumed that anyone you had exchanged messages with using Google Talk was your friend. If those people were Google Reader users, they would be able to see any item you marked as “shared.”
