THEBRIX2008 Since my last review Socialite has matured considerably - most of the glitches have been ironed out and it is now a capable Google News and Twitter reader (I don't use the other services); the second, in particular, has come on a long way. However, it is still marred by trivial UI errors which would be easy to fix. For example: Google Reader - the sorting of feeds appears to be random, and the top item in the popup menu against a feed is "Unsubscribe", which makes it depressingly easy to unsubscribe from a feed by accident. Twitter - the Expand URLs option is per-tweet, which is not much help when you regularly receive hundreds of tweets. Also, the support for protocols and third-party applications could do with expansion; there is Instapaper but no ReadItLater, for example, and the very useful Notes facility in Google Reader is not supported.
