Conesus writes "NewsBlur is a new RSS feed reader that tries to do two things very well:
1) Shows you the original site instead of a context-less feed. Read the original and NewsBlur marks the stories you've read.
2) Filter stories you either like or dislike. A three-stop slider goes between dislike, neutral, and like (red, yellow, and green). Training is super-easy and all click-based (as opposed to you having to writing out what you like in a site, NewsBlur asks you, semi-Hunch-style, your opinions on facets of the site)."

That depends on where you live. Here in NYC, having an iPhone means nothing more than a willingness to pay only $10-20/month more than the blackberry crowd. It's not showy or out of the ordinary to have an iPhone. In fact, having a standard flip phone, in this age of internet-ready email-anywhere connectedness, not having a smartphone in some capacity is beginning to be seen as odd. But NYC is not like the rest of the country.
