I keep coming across the Urbit project, and decided to investigate it for myself to learn what it's all about. I've read a bit and watched some youtube introduction videos, and decided I'm quite bearish on the project. I don't think it has a good future. Here's why.

If you need an RSS or blog reader for your Smartphone, don't buy one. Google Reader is free and there is a mobile version just for smartphones and PDAs with internet access (Windows Mobile, for example). Google reader aggregates your RSS feeds so you don't have to visit individual sites. If you read a cool story and want to look at it on your desktop, just "star" it on your phone, then look at your starred items back at your PC.

Google Reader for mobile is slick!
