Google Currents is an application for viewing content on Android and iOS devices. It reformats content (based on web feeds) to look like a magazine. It looks great on my HTC One X and I’m expecting it to look even better on my Nexus 7 when it arrives.
It’s possible to subscribe to web feeds using it, but for some reason content looks better if the web site owner goes through a simple process to publish the content. This is literally a three minute job which you do from the Google Currents Producer web page. I’ve done that for both this site and the Perl News web site. I can’t seem to find any way to share the address of this content, but if you open the Currents app on your tablet or phone and search for “Perl Hacks” and “Perl News” you should be able to find them.
Currently I’m using all the default formatting options, but I suspect I’ll be drawn into tweaking things soon.
If you published Perl-related content on the web (or, indeed, any other kind of content) then it might well be worth your while taking the three minutes it takes to publish your content for Google Current.
