Reader Options

Until I get the time to create a new video, I’ll just update pieces.
This is the side navigation for my media.home application as it pertains to my news reader.

Tag Cloud - This opens a tag cloud that shows the current tags associated with unread articles. After I’m finished reading the articles directly associated with a chosen tag, I’m prompted to search the rest of the unread articles for that tag in their title. This is useful for tags like Microsoft or Google but not so much for tags like product profiles used by techcrunch or daily trivia.

Feed List - This shows a list of all the feeds that have a weight greater then 1 or have 5+ articles. With 100 feeds showing them all is to long a list so it’s geared towards the ones I want to hear from the most. I also have special feeds for articles that have diggs and for articles flagged as Techmeme.

Latest - This ones pretty simple and shows articles with the latest at the top.

Oldest - Same as latest but with the oldest at the top.

Review - List of the articles flagged for review.

Recent - Most recent articles read in reverse chronological order. Helps when I accidently mark something read.

Search - Can search the title of the article with the option of including the articles body also.

Admin - Used to manage feeds and some basic reporting.
