The Best of the Blogosphere Right in Your Pocket

Regator is the popular directory of “the web’s best blog posts from the web’s best blogs.” We touched on Regator in finding news relevant to you and later in more detail after their redesign. The directory is maintained by the Regator staff to ensure the highest quality content from the blogosphere. Earlier this week, they launched an official iPhone app. So now, the power of Regator is literally right at your finger tips whereever you are.

The free iPhone app doesn’t include the My Regator tools found in the web version, but we can probably expect to see a paid app in the near future that does. Even with that being the case, the app is far from crippled and packs a plethora of features, including:

• Browse posts from over 500 topics as diverse as beekeeping, geology, indie music, pop culture, job hunting, or basketball.
• Search Regator’s archive of more than three million posts, returning results that users have described as being consistently more relevant and higher quality than those returned by Google Blog Search.
• View the most popular blog posts across the blogosphere or in your favorite topic.
• See trends to get an up-to-the-minute, spam-free look at exactly what bloggers in any niche are writing about now.
• Keep up with the newest blog posts, updated every few seconds.
• Read the full text of posts on the original source blog.
• Share posts via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
• Find more information on a story with Regator’s related posts feature.

With the increasing amount of random information that we deal with on a day-to-day basis, it’s very important to have good  information filters in place. Even if you have never thought about this concept, you may already be using it. It could be a particular person you follow or a blog you’re subscribed to that always seems to link to or talk about good stuff. Regator can be exactly the filter you need to make sure you avoid what you might consider to be noise and get right at the quality content you need. Now that you can carry Regator around in your pocket, you can keep up with the best of the blogosphere no matter where you are.
