cool, but I just went to the market, and searched for it, and it no there

Damn them

Ah, right, ok. So I just went to the website for it, which linked to the market for it, which showed that it's incompatible with my LG Optimus One

Why?

What can a newsreading app possibly need that my phone doesn't have?

Except if it has been coded using Flex then it'll need an ARM7 CPU, which mine isn't... that's about the only thing I could think of

I guess Pulse will have to do for me.

[edit] OK, it's f*cking region based. It's not available to me because I don't live in the bloody US of A.

God this is really starting to shit me with Google. First Google Music, now this. You're supposed to be a GLOBAL company damnit.

USA is the center of the bloody world

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Gruber says it's limited to the US because Google lined up a bunch of "corporate partners" prior to launch. It also may be a rip-off homage of the excellent FlipBoard for iOS. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/12/08/google-currents

I've searched the Market a few times for things I know are there, but (ironically?) I don't think the android market search is as good as google. >> ^spoco2:

It seems like a really neat service and I can see it being a viable alternative to paper magazines, particularly with the advent of the iSanitaryNapkin and similar tablets.

There's a videosift reader in there possibly, though I'm not sure. I took part in Google's beta testing over the past couple of months, but couldn't really figure out how to make it present videosift's feed in a nice way.

Maybe now that they've launched we'll be able to make it come to life (for those who can actually use the app, of course). We'll have to look into that.

I need to get you an iPad Lucky - I think you could be converted. >> ^lucky760:

So basically its Videosift for the internet. But that is what VideoSift is for.

Quick, Videosift is trending, get over there fast!

So, after someone gave out the apk to install for the rest of the world (thanks for nothing Google), I tried it for about 5 minutes.
* First negative: It took up 6Meg of my internal storage even after moving it to SD Card
* Second negative: After only that 5 mins of syncing it had used up 9 Meg of internal storage.

Um, I know that most new android phones have heaps of internal storage, but why the hell can't it put all that data on the SD card dammit. I have gigs free there and only 30 Meg free on my internal mem.

Uninstalled and unimpressed.
