android river is a fast river of news style rss reader with awesome support for podcasting. it also has special feeds creator to services such as google news (over 50 languages) and kayak.com flight deals (over 3000 airports) so you can monitors more specialized news.

the plan
android rivers is part of a larger open source project to realize the creation of an open twitterlike ecosystem.
the idea of a decentralized twitterlike system is very appealing to me for the following reasons: you do not have to fear that somehow you anger the power that be and have your account suspended. anybody can participate to provide the service for small amount of money. this diversity is a strength.
