Genwi.com was a free web based news reader, or aggregator, initially released in March 2007 [1]. Genwi provided a news feed service by enabling users to publish their feeds to one profile and follow others' news feeds in the feed reader - this feed reader was called "Wire" and was capable of reading RSS, Media RSS, iTunes RSS and ATOM feeds[2]. Genwi offered a suite of social networking features built into the RSS reader. Users were able to add friends, send messages, leave comments and share individual feed items. The site underwent a major redesign in November 2008[3] and was shut-down in 2009.
In January 2010, GENWI, Inc. used the same technology that built their RSS reader to launch iSites.us[4], a smartphone app builder and management system, which enables businesses to build apps for iPhone and Android using RSS, ATOM or social feeds[5]. GENWI uses cloud-based technology to keep more than 1,400 native apps up-to-date and to instantly build HTML5 apps for iPhone[6]. GENWI is short for "Generation Wireless" and is headquartered in Los Altos, CA[7] .
