It's back!

With all the discussion about Pulse and the NYTimes, I'm reminded of the challenges with RSS: Information overload, limited discovery of new sources, etc. If you've tried RSS readers and are still looking for a great way to get personalized news without having to manage a list of RSS subscriptions, I suggest checking out my company, YourVersion http://www.YourVersion.com.

You just tell YourVersion the topics you care about and it finds the latest, relevant news, blogs, tweets, etc. tailored to your interests. We have a free iPhone app at http://bit.ly/yv-app. Our free iPad app should be available soon as well. We’d love for you to give our product a try and provide us with some feedback!

I just bought, downloaded, and read NYT on The Pulse app. It must be back up.

the other thing to note is that there are other readers on the appstore that publish the TIMES feed. Interesting that they only singled out this one. Something tells me it was because Steve highlighted it in his presentation and said how cool it was. They must have flipped in NYC. After all their app sucks like a Dyson!

Well, I think this will be turning around very soon for those guys. I have faith in Apple and Steve Jobs. The NYTIMES is producing a publicly available feed. The app merely pulls what's out there. The users can either add or not add the Times as a fee.

This would be like the Times telling Apple to remove their RSS feed from the news section in Safari.

In fact, I think Apple should do that just to pi** them off. How about it Steve :)

And then to really irk them, go off and invest some money in these guys because they coded a quality app.

But like I say, I personally don't think the app will be gone for long. Something tells me it will be back before the end of the day.

Hope I am right. I love that app! Glad I installed it the other day.

My guess? NYT has an app. They don't want people seeing NYT on another app, then ignoring the official app. Especially seeing that Steve Jobs hates the official app- http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/04/steve-hates-the-new-york-times-ipad-app/

I think all they'll have to do is pull out the RSS feed from default view. Allow the user to add the feed if they want. I think it's BS since they are using open accessible RSS feeds to display the content. They aren't making any money displaying the content. They should be able to get it back in the app store in no time I think.

Pulse: “Look how easy it is to access content on the New York Times.”

NY Times: “Stop looking at me. In fact, screw you Pulse for looking at me and making other people look at me. Apple, please pull down this app. It makes us look relevant. We have a reputation to uphold.”

Yay! I hope all classic newspapers go bankrupt. They get free advertisement yet they still make Pulse get removed from the app store and want Google to pay them for google news? :-/
