You're probably familiar with Pulse, one of the many beautiful ways to enjoy RSS feeds on your iPad. You're also probably familiar with Flipboard, a new app that adds social functions to feed reading. Well, Pulse plans to add its own social functions tonight with a significant update.
What's the update entail? It adds the ability for users to create their own "Pulses." Pulses are any articles a user selects, so each individual becomes an aggregator of news. This is where Posterous, a blogging service, comes in. Each Pulse is transferred to an automatically created Posterous blog, which allows users to share their selections with anyone--not just Pulse users.
The best of all, Pulse posts will be featured on Pulsememe, a site that shows off what's hot in the Pulse blogosphere and lists the top Pulse bloggers.
Pulse is available for Android, iPhone, and iPad, though the aggregator is currently iPad only. The service shows promise, but only has a few users at the moment, mostly from the Pulse team. Will Pulse be the next big way to find news? Only time will tell, but be sure to let us know what you think in the comments!
