Is there an equivalent to the Feeds and Updates Widget in the Android Market? It's the only thing stopping me from ditching TouchWiz.
Bump...this is also the only thing stopping me. I dun need a a widget, so long as the app can aggregate the newfeeds from both twitter and facebook and allow me to post to both. So far, I have tried my6sense but it seems to be very buggy and some facebook pics showed as X .

launcherpro plus?
Try using Ping.FM via eBuddy to update all there is that you need to update. In regards to a unified Twitter / Facebook integration, SocialScope is the next best thing. Although it's in an indefinite BETA loop.
I love the LauncherPro plus widget that aggregates both, brilliant.
Tweetdeck! Finally I switched to Zeam launcher. Though the widgets suck, the app does what I wanted very nicely.
ok what i am looking for is feeds & updates like app and widget which aggregates various sites like twitter, facebook, foursquare, myspace, hyves and so on. I think it does not exist?
Pure Messenger Widget integrates twitter and Facebook feeds, but the app costs but still works like a charm
For all you news aggregation aficionados, now that we have a leaked version of Flipboard. What do you prefer Flipboard, Currents, Pulse, or some other app?
I installed Flipboard and played with it for about 30 minutes and went back to currents, It has a nice look and feel but I just prefer currents.
Sound off...
Minimal Reader Pro (even better with v3.0)
Newsrob Pro. It's probably my most use app and syncs with Google Reader

Google Reader for the specific feeds I care for.
Google News to have a quick overview of the current (biased) medias.
Russia Today to have proper journalistic reports on world events.
I use flip board mostly on my ipad hated it on my iPhone and the same as the android phone app. I mostly use pulse

Just set up Flipboard and I love it. I use Pulse more for news though, for now they seem to have more sources.

Good old Google Reader does the job nicely, just add rss from whatever source I love

I like the UI of Pulse better than the others, I use it the most. but I sometimes use the others too.
Oh flipboard for the win!!! i loved this when i still had my iphone (BARF) but now that it's on my big gorgeous nexus screen I'm loving it even more.
Twitter.

I use Currents!
Google Reader. In my opinion, you just can't beat the simplicity and effectiveness of RSS. I do miss GR's shared items, though -- you could run across some good stuff that way.
Pulse and bacon reader, and twitter
Pulse can also take in any rss feed

So I went back and played around with it more, and basically ended up with the following reason why I use Currents over Flipboard.
1. Currents converts anything that has an RSS feed into a reader style, Flipboard on some sites will forward you straight to the webpage when you click on a story, that's Kind of annoying.
2. Flipping to see the next story in Flipboard pretty sweet when reading trends, but I prefer a listing format so I can select what I want without flipping through 10 stories.
3. I prefer the way Currents aggregates the individual sites so you can select categories of content.
4. A big one, is that Currents pulls in the pictures from the original story, I found outside of the main cover pic, Flipboard does not pull in the other pictures.
5. No social networking, I prefer to have social networking apps absent of my aggregator. If I want to share I could use Androids built in sharing link and share or send it SMS, DropBox, Drive, Email, Facebook, Twitter..etc. Well Flipboard only allows you to share by email and with Social networking sites connected through Flipboard's Web API..(I hate when I have to do that).
6. In the end I can get to a story faster in Currents than in Flipboard, andI have way more options. Flipboard is more form over function, I like function.
Love Pulse. Ever since the Vibrant days.

Good topic...I have tried many.
1. Flipboard: Loved it on iPhone and just downloaded/installed on Nexus. A little strangeness with the flip action/twitchy pages especially when trying to navigate. It feels like beta. It is so slick on iPhone.
2. Pulse: really like it. Very smooth, well designed and functional. Love the browsing section and how easy it is to add new sources. Attempting post to FB force closes.
3. Taptu: Different from Pulse but looks very similar. Syncs well across devices. G Reader integration is nice.
4. Currents: The look is nice and love its integration to Google but not sold on it yet. It needs something and not sure what. I need to use it more.
5. Feedly: Really like this one my PC but it does not work well on this phone. It seems choppy and attempting FB post does something weird with FB pop up.
6. NYT app: Decent if you only want to read NYT
I keep coming back to Google Reader, can't put my finger on it, it's just simple and works I guess.
Pulse
I've only tried Flipboard and Pulse and they are both great!
Pulse has good UI with ICS theme and I really like the easy "save for later" button!
It also has good offline reader though lately (might be after I rooted my phones)
the scrolling have been less smooth and very laggy and weird! Also the bottom tab pops up all the time which is really annoying!
Flipboard is made for iPhone, but I love the slide left to right to go back option and it really good though I wish there was a "Add to Pocket" button!
Will try the others that you mentioned!
Is there any Pulse-like news web reader? I can't find any good RSS readers for Chrome/windows/web
Bought this phone after loosing my Optimus 3D, loving it.
Few issues to sort out, one is why is the no info/updates at all from facebook in friend stream. Under the contacts tab I only get Twitter updates. Yet when clicking on the photos tab all their facebook albums come up. Also in the lock screen friend strream again only Twitter.
Any help appreciated.
P.s. anyway to have google + updates in friend stream?

Isn't it there already?
I'm not with my phone, so can't check - however, i know the friend stream widget 'definitely' shows both Facebook & Twitter posts.
Edit: I've just checked the friend stream app too, it shows both Facebook and twitter.
----
Make sure its set to All Networks at the top of the friend stream app.
Make sure you have the Facebook live feed sync enabled in auto-sync.

Simple, you will have a lot more twitter feeds than Facebook so the twitter feeds are basically over crowding Facebook! I had this problem so I just switched twitter off

Lol I think you're right, that and for whatever reason when you fist setup Twitter feeds get backdated but facebook only get new updates.
Anyone know if google plus can be integrated, like sparks and posts?
Does anyone have any apk's of older Facebook App?
Gallery Issue with newer versions:
The newer versions will not upload / refresh all the galleries and it's very annoying. Also when you upload pictures, it won't let you select a gallery. Extremely annoying. What are the devs thinking?
I'm using an older version 1.8.4, which is ok. It allows me to select albums when uploading pics, but still it doesn't fully load all my albums...
Edit: Facebook apk 1.8.4 is by far the best.
It would be nice if everyone can make some FB apk's available for download.
Edit: PM if you want the apk file.
Does anyone know which version will refresh all the albums 100% and not partially?
Thanks.
Flipboard baby!

ditto ... I LOVE Flipboard .... I used to use Friendcaster app instead of the horrendous FB app but that lately is getting worse not better and it shows None of my photo to that get uploaded via my instagram feed.
I have all my Social Media accounts loaded into Flipboard
FB, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Google+
plus other info/fun stuff like cute overload.com, Android News, 2012 Summer Games, People Mag
LOVE it.
Just started using flipboard and gotta admit, it's addictive! Best RSS style app I've ever used. However, I've set up my Facebook, and it is cool to use for checking out your newsfeed and you are able to like and comment on posts, and looks like you can compose a post, but how do you check notifications/messages or look at people's profiles or pictures? Seems to be missing some functionality. Either way it's a cool app.
I usually use Friendcaster though. The regular Facebook app was horrible about giving you notifications. Friendcaster does the trick.

Well it is laid out magazine style, but you can set it up to include your feed from all/any of your accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Google+ and it shows the photos right away (for example when someone tweets a blurb with a URL to a photo they upload) it's really cool
Each one gets it's own "block" - see attached screencap of ONE of my pages
You can also add any blog RSS feeds, News feeds etc - I have Android News, People Magazine, 2012 Olympics (right now) the website Cuteoverload.com ... it is totally customizable and you can like, and add comments from the app as well.

I use flipboard a lot, especially using tumblr and reading news. Though, i dont think its the best option for using facebook, at least thats what the OP is asking. There is no way to message someone on flipboard nor chat. You can post stats, like pictures, and share stuff. But otber than those things, nope. I think fast facebook is pretty good, but i find myself using the official one most often.

Looks great! I'm about to try.
I like fast Facebook
Flipboard and Friendcaster.
Necro Bump....
I personally can't stand the new Facebook App lately..... they either are too damn slow, or you get your notications really late compared to the other apps.... To my liking, I would recommend using Version 1.9.6........ I'm currently on running 1.9.6 and refusing to update =)
are you able to post pictures to instagram via flipboard? if so, how?

I don't think you can post pics because Instagram doesn't allow any other app to post pics.
