Without criticizing Pulse, why are you all so congratulatory of this move? What does Pulse do?


"Pulse is an elegant news reading application for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. It incorporates colorful panning story bars and fills them with content from your favorite sources. Pulse redefines news, giving you the opportunity to experience the news you desire from traditional sources, your favorite blogs and social networks – all in one beautiful interface."


This sentence should REALLY be on the post linked by OP


Absolutely. I've never heard of pulse before so I went to the blog to find out what it was. But nothing. Same for the homepage. There is just a link to the blog post.


I also have this question. Their website seems to have fallen to this trendy 'minimalism' fad in which they expect that everybody visiting their site already knows what their product is.


Huge win for Pulse as well as Amazon. If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you've now got news, movies, tv, and books from the instant you boot up. Genius move on Amazon's part.


Wow, not sure how I missed the existence of Pulse. It's a really interesting news reader.


Yeah, definitely my favorite reader for iPhone after trying a boatload of them. Presents information in an attractive and economical manner and every time you think "I wish I could do that", there's a way to do it.


Pulse looks nice. But I don't quite see how it's an advantage for the users, since they could just install it. It's more likely it'll annoy those users that don't want it.


Out of all the news readers I tried Pulse has been the one I like most, but I don't understand why none of them support some sort of offline mode.


Incredibly huge win for Pulse. A huge congrats is in order to everyone involved in making this happen.


Congrats guys! That is awesome!


this is great; though as an android user, i much prefer the ui of taptu personally.


Dang, this is awesome!
