Great for desktops, tablets and smartphones. Can be used without an account or sign up for free to customize the default set of websites on the home page. Websites can be added either by URL or from a directory.

Role: co-founder looking at the product side of things
Love the look, and it seems like a fine product, but I use RSS so I can avoid loading full websites -- I have severe bandwidth limits from my satellite Internet provider. So having to click through to the full page to read entire articles was a non-starter for me. Not your fault, but my search for a Google Reader replacement continues. Good luck!

"Skimr is probably becoming my new favorite web based readers: a very simple UI, extremely readable on mobile devices."
