Shipowners Township adds readability of article scooping support, fails to stir up controversy

I have to do just around, a software update on my iPad. Among other things, it brought a new update to the shipowners RSS reader to have a remarkably useful feature I am very happy with. Although I shipowners vs. MobileRSS controversy mentioned last week at the time the update actually, the way which came out the update escaped my notice until now.


A readability button owner has added its user interface. If I encounter an RSS feed provides the full article (some feeds are so special obnoxious - especially the bookseller's, which only the first seven words of article) I press simply uses Arc90's readability to get it, and render one in an easily readable text version within owner's normal interface, full feed RSS post indistinguishable. This means I no longer bother, visiting the site, waiting for it to render and squint at the page which attempts to read it. (Or only the items in the stars and go back later to read it on my computer.)


Of course, this won't help with like Techmeme or Google news feeds, links to other articles, rather than the text of the articles included but for reading RSS feeds as the bookseller or Ars Technica, I'll gladly take it.


Of course, I doubt that Ars Technica content is any more with this innovation, than was possible with the similar to Safari reader (which used readability code). Only ad impressions from a page type Ars's Editor-In Chief Ken Fisher was annoyed enough with Safari reader function, but shipping users now have to see all ad impressions on all of the site. (Also are full text, RSS feeds from Ars Technica only for those who pay to subscribe to - owners now essentially bypasses.)


This fact seems the opposite with a recent update own which social read app Flipboard did: while having used, click a button to start a browser and read the full text one secured article on the Web, now you actually visit iPad above the current Web page at the bottom of the screen and can only pull him until read to start. With the shipowners update have never to see the Web page.


Given the controversy that surrounded Flipboard's permissionless draws when it first came out (although it ended up being a few actual Publisher complaints), and the similar controversies involving the pulse integration of a publicly available New York Times RSS feed, I'm a little surprised shipowner has not come in for complaints from sites that use abbreviated feeds, try to entice people to visit your sites and display your show. If it Web cartoons instead of textual articles the webcomics community would have been all over it.
