NAGRP (Not Another Good Reads Post)

I love bookmarking articles to read later, but I hate being confined to one browser or one computer (Firefox Sync, Google Chrome Sync, Chrome to Phone). I also love sharing these sites with people, but I don't want to bombard them with Tweets or Status Updates. So my solution is to keep a running blog post where I can save an easy to remember permalink where I can jot down links to sites I need to go back and read. Yes, there are services like Instapaper and Read It Later, but the sharing isn't all there for me, yet-- it's almost too personal. If you know of an elegant, "simple" solution to my two requirements then I'm all ears. I/We would even go so far as to write an app to make this all work with Android if something awesome pops up. Anyway, here goes:

Greetings and Intros

Hello everybody who either stumbled onto our blog or came here of your own volition. Welcome to the dev blog for our Android app. The goal of this blog is to keep interested parties (we are hoping thats you) up to date on features we are implementing. Whats Enkel you say? Why its an app to play your music on your android device! Now we realize that music players are a dime a dozen and the default app does a pretty snazzy job also. We want to provide an interface to users that requires the least amount of interaction to play your music. The idea is that the typical user starts playing their music and their attention immediately moves elsewhere. We do not stare at our devices when we play music, we multitask! So with that in mind we (Auston, Nate and myself) set out to create an Enkel. Future posts will keep you guys in the know as we push towards an Android market release version of our app.

Any feedback is welcome. Let us know in the comments whats on your mind.
