Better feeds to use with Newsrob
Droidgren
you are about to view the full news content it spoils the experience :
(
This is not Newsrobs fault but news sites that does not supply a
mobile-adjusted version of their pages/feeds.
Therefore you have to download a lot of overhead; it takes time to
download, and you have to scroll a lot. That is not fun when reading
news on the go.
So therefore I made a litle php script that re-generates RSS-feeds
with an embedded link which will only show news content and resized
images (320px). This means you can view news item faster without
scrolling and zooming to get to the actual news content. You will also
save bandwidth as the images are also resized.
This works particular good with "Manage feed" -> "Display Web page"
setting in Newsrob.
I added a couple of popular news sites, and if there is some of
particular interest I can add some more. The user interface is locked
at moment as I have no member system.
To try it out, just choose a feed from the url below and add it to
Google news and start syncing it with Newsrob.
Here is the link:

I know there is Google mobile web page view for this as well but I
think this should be even more streamlined :)

easy for me to to add new feeds I decided to share it.
Perhaps Im going to add a user system so you could add your own feeds,
but I wanna see if there is an interest first. But at moment I feel
pretty much done with it. Just use it if you like it, and be happy :)

my feeds with NewsRob to the Droid.
I do subscribe to some high traffic sites (especially because of CES
right now too). But, shouldn't it at least have created the label in
NewsRob?
I'll drop my subs and only keep Scobleizer to test if it's getting
pushed out. I'll keep you updated.
Thanks!
Oh, and here's my list of subs:

no, NewsRob doesn't really sync feeds and folders. It syncs the
articles and they contain metadata where they belong to. In NewsRob
you will only see the feeds/folders where you currently have articles
for. That even means that you won't see a folder that contains
messages, but they are all read and you are in the "hide read
articles"-mode.
Regarding your issue: You can also try to increase the capacity to
1000 or/and set the sync type to "Keep And Sync: Unread Articles
Only".

Resub'd to all feeds (incl. Scobleizer) and had issues syncing
feeds.
Logged out/Cleared Cache, killed process.
Started back up, logged in to google and refreshed...
Everything is syncing up now.
Thanks for your help and quick correspondence!
