Instant Messengers

I tested Viber all day. It has a lot of impressive features that I just don't need, including lists of friends, enemies and frenemies from my addressbook. No way to rid some of these people from the user list even if you block them.  Deleting a contact on Viber also mean deleting a contact on your phone.

I tried Snapchat, too, but this app is just too much for what I need.

I think Kik does IM best, including a sensible addressbook matching, few friends and even less of the losers.

Newsreader

Catching up on this week's news. Sometimes, this reader puts out duplicate articles from the same site, and I can't figure out if this is the fault of AOL Reader, Yahoo Pipes or Feedburner. I've tried Feedly, and it's not any better than AOL Reader. Can anyone recommend a better online newsreader? Thanks!
