What is "flud"

Flud was a social news reader application for iPad, iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. It was designed to display RSS feeds from blogs and news sites into individual streams for easy viewing. In Flud, articles and stories could be stored for later reading with the Reading List, shared as a favorite read with the Flud button, and shared with Facebook, Twitter, email, Tumblr, InstaPaper, and ReadItLater.

Flud had been tagged as "the first true social news reader" where users could create a personal profile, follow others who share their interests, and become influencers to their followers by sharing content (known as Fluding).

For Fluding via the web, a bookmarklet was also available. A full web application had been under development.

On August 8, 2013, Flud was discontinued.
