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”.

Minireview: Byline RSS reader for the iPhone/iPod touch

Years ago when good old Safari turned into Safari RSS, I eased into the habit of finding stuff on the web through RSS feeds rather than by visiting the front page of sites "manually." Unfortunately, Safari's RSS implementation is very slow, especially with some "enhanced" feeds. So, a couple of months ago, I switched to Google Reader. I'm not generally a fan of cloud computing, but in this case it makes sense: you don't need to have the feeds locally if you can't go online and visit the linked articles anyway. Google also has an iPhone-optimized version of its RSS aggregator. This version works extremely well for perusing feeds and marking posts as read or star them for later reading, but actually reading articles through Google Reader mobile is quite painful.
