Reeder is one of the best applications for the iPad. The mix of elegance, awesome graphics, usability and innovations makes it stand out from the crowded App Store and after 48 hours it is already the top paid app for iPad. That should mean something.

I stumbled upon Buzzie from Alberto Garcìa Hierro and I have to say it’s pretty good app for Google Buzz.
