On logging into Google Reader just now, I noticed that it now shows me a group of feeds that correspond to my friends’ shared items. This is terrific! Note: Friends are defined as your Google Talk buddies.
There is a Facebook app that works similarly, but I’m glad this functionality is now built in [...]

John Tokash … has replicated a very close desktop experience for the mobile browser in ReaderMini. It works very well over both EDGE data and WiFi and has really enabled a very slick experience without limits.

ReaderMini, my faster, stronger, better front end to Google Reader is now a zillion times faster at startup. Loading an account with 600 feeds is now just a few seconds on a desktop machine and less than 15 seconds on a Nokia 770 or Nokia n800 Internet Tablet. AWESOME!

Is there any interest out there for a version of ReaderMini.com that will work on the Sony Mylo? If so, let me know and I’ll start to investigate. I’m thinking a slideable feed list and lots of hotkey support.
I don’t have a Mylo, but it shouldn’t be too hard to get something working.
Here [...]

Deal with auth and command token timeouts.
Funky html problem that affects the ‘read/unread’ [...]
