If what you want is the ability to skim large #s of headlines, organize lots of feeds, label them, tag articles for later reading in one fast unobtrusive "no magazine layout" reader, SwarmIQ is your choice.

- Screenshots: We're going to have those up on the home page shortly.
- Differentiated User experience: We've really worked hard at making it as easy as possible for users to fulfil certain tasks. Our objective is to have the functionality be self-evident and not require a manual or a help page to use the website. We have some pretty powerful customization options.
- This is a great point. We're just about coming to parity w.r.t Google reader-like functionality and we're late. However we believe our next release which will focus on personalization and making greater use of user training data will set us apart and deliver highly tailored relevant news to our users, cutting down the clutter.
We currently do not have a Google Reader compatible API that can serve as a swap-in replacement for your iPhone app. We're working on building an API and should have it ready for use in the coming weeks.
Hi Robert,
Is there something wrong with asking one's friends to sign up and share their experiences and give us an upvote. Not sure why you're going through all this trouble to figure out what is generally an obvious thing for any site seeking traction to do.
