Viigo deleted from my Blackberry
I'm amazed to say I have just deleted the VIIGO newsreader from my Blackberry. This is amazing because I have really found the app to be essential. But, in truth, what I found initially essential about it was the fact
that it was an RSS reader. My interest was piqued last year when it
looked like it might include audio podcasts but, seeing as that has
never happened (atleast on my Curve 8310 4.5 it has not), then, for
me, it is essentially an RSS reader. I was alarmed to see the latest v3 Viigo download size was something
list a 1MB! On a small device this is waaaay too much and Blackberrys
do not like running low on disk space (spend a lifetime looking at the
spinning hour glass anyone?). Viigo also has load of extra "channels" (RSS for dummies?) and now
that it is trying to appeal to "shopping" etc I think it's moved too
far from its RSS roots in search for a revenue stream. So I've downloaded a much lighter, smaller, simpler RSS reader instead
http://www.freerangeinc.com/ - it's much, much more swift to use. I'm
sure it'll take some getting used to and I'll report back later but
it's quicker and it's focussed on RSS which is what I want. I don't
want all that other Viigo stuff. Joel
