Pulse: Your hand held social reader

Written by Ash Roy | Apr 18, 2013 3:17:45 AM

Pulse is an excellent news blog and social media reader with a fantastic interactive interface. It has a news discovery feature that responds to your keywords and/or explicit choices.

However Pulse appears to lack Zite’s ‘intelligent’ feature which ‘learns’ from your choices and gets ‘smarter’ with use – something I find particularly appealing. (For more details on Zite click here).

Pulse won the apple design award in 2011 and boasts over 20M users today and has a 4+ rating at the iTunes store

Key Benefits:

  • Excellent user friendly interface to scroll through and customise your news feeds (see video below)
  • All your content in one place including feeds from twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr and Flickr
  • Sync news feeds across all devices and share sources with a friend by bumping phones
  • Access your Pulse account online at www.pulse.me

Grab your copy of Pulse for iPhone or pulse for iPad at the iTunes store.
