The real power of Delicious Mona lies in it's ability to read any news source from around the internet. In fact, if you already use a service like Bloglines or Newsgator, or programs like NetNewsWire or FeedDemon then you already know this. Delicious Mona gives you that same flexibility but wrapped up in a free, easy to use program designed to work together with you and your mobile phone.
While you can import any news feed from around the Internet, the real power of Delicious Mona is that it lets you import a list of your own feeds, either exported from your own internet-based news aggregation service (like Bloglines or Newsgator) or desktop program (NetNewsWire or FeedDemon). In this way, Delicious Mona becomes an extension of the services you already use - allowing you to take your news out on the road, wherever you go.
But Delicious Mona doesn't stop there...
When you're out and about with Delicious Mona, catching up on your favorite news, what happens when you want to checkout the full article or keep a record of the things that interest you? Why, you bookmark it of course, with the web's leading bookmarking service, del.icio.us.
That's right, Delicious Mona lets you bookmark any article from any feed straight to your del.icio.us account with a single mobile click. Then when you get back to your computer, you fire up your favorite newsreader and synchronise with your "My Del.icio.us" RSS feed and all the things you bookmarked on your mobile will be waiting for you on your computer.
So you can quickly find any article bookmarked to 'My Del.icio.us" from your phone each article is automatically tagged with the word mona.
That's no problem either. There are many free services available online like Bloglines that let you get started. There are also many free services available on the internet that let you create your own reading lists (groups of feeds) that can be imported into Delicious Mona; OPML Manager and OPML Workstation to name just two.
