| Hi, I love m.newsgator.com. Also have a suggestion which would make it more efficient to use for me. At m.newsgator.com I'd like to check the feed. If a topic seems useful then I'll read on of couse. But sometimes there's a link to a full blown webpage or a movie which I don't want to open on my mobile. Or I'd like to do something with a topic, for instance forward it, print it or look up something else about it. I'd still like to mark all feeds as read since that's what they are: read. So my request is a way to flag a certain topic in a feed for further processing. This may be implemented for instance by flagging a topic (if for instance FeedDemon supports that), it may also be by marking a topic as unread (not preferred since the feed will be in the unread view all the time). Also possible is a small button next to a topic to send it via e-mail to an address you'll have to setup somewhere. If e-mail is not possible maybe an extra "feed" can be created in which these topics remain ("Further processing feed"). If it's not possible to display a button next to a topic it might be an idea to have a button on top and bottom of a page which opens a page with all the topics in the feed to be 'checked off' after which they can be mailed/copied to the "Further processing feed". Right now I have to keep the whole feed (not only one topic) as unread which I'll bump into the whole day until I'm at a desktop. Or copy the URL, start e-mail, create a message to myself, paste the URL, send which takes to much time/handling on a mobile device. Regards, Patrick Mackaaij

even if you are not using an iPhone, you may be able to use the iphone specific version of m.newsgator.com - why would you want to do that? because it supports clippings which will sync to FeedDemon.
Go to http://m.newsgator.com/iphone.aspx on your phone to see if it looks different. If it does, you should have a clip icon for each post.

| That looks as it might do the trick indeed! Only after ticking it a blank page appears. Same after ticking a page as read (also a blank page). Pressing back resulted in "A critical error has occured! please login again!"

Unfortunately that's probably due to it being written for the mobile webkit browser... I don't know what phone you have, but have you tried using NewsGator Go! It might work better for what you are trying to do.

| Hi again, I immediatly tried Newsgator Go!. The first thing I tried with my HTC 6350 was the Smartphone edition. I was not able to read any articles there, only headlines. The other version did work and is able to clip indeed! I really prefer the website however, since: - Newsgator Go! takes time to load
- Newsgator Go! syncs the feeds which takes time
- I like to scan the headlines and only read articles I'm interested in; the actions of Newsgator Go! in an article only allow me to go to the next (instead of the feed headlines again)
- In the end Newsgator Go! has to sync again, which takes time
Could you look at adding a "Clip" link next to an article in m.newsgator.com? Thanks for your efforts so far,
Patrick Mackaaij
