Does "My Taptu" mean anything to you?


More and more web apps are now available that allow you to change the appearance of the page you're reading or that accomplish for you some of the work of finding the articles or pages you want to read.

Have you heard of Pulse, Flipboard, or My Taptu? Or Instapaper? Do you currently use an RSS feed aggregator that keeps track of sites you're interested in and "pulls" new content onto a single page where you can view it all at once--or puts it into an email that gets sent to you daily? For a comparison of feed aggregators, click here.

For a quick overview of several of these apps, check out this NY Times article by Jenna Wortham titled "Apps Alter Reading on the Web."

    "IPad reading, in particular, peaks from 8 to 10 p.m. "
    Do we assume that the peak hours represent the iPad's replacement of the traditional newspaper or book? Or does this mean the iPad is more of an device for entertainment than for instruction or work?
