I’ve been in mourning over Google’s decision to shut down Reader. MOURNING. Honestly, I love having a centralized location for all of my favorite blogs. It is like my own customized newspaper delivered each morning. I’ve been using Google Reader since about 2007, and in that time I’ve amassed an enormous collection of favorites. Whenever I find something I want to remember or be able to go back and read, I Tweet it out and then immediately favorite it. I can’t tell you how often I go to my Reader when I’m remembering something great that I favorited that I want to revisit or share. Daily.July 1st is fast approaching. I've been plugging my ears, closing my eyes, shaking my head, and repeating na, na, na, na, na for the last month. But it's time.
Feedly finally implemented their own syncing backend, and I've learned that my favorite feed reader of all time, Reeder, will be supporting Feedly. My mind has finally been made. Kelly offers some great alternatives as we mourn the passing of the soon to be late, great Google Reader.
What will you be using?

I have been searching and searching and trying out all different things. While some of the choices looked pretty, the pretty looks made things way too overcomplicated for me. I just wanted to have a simple list that I could scroll through, see where new posts were, and read them.
ReplyDeleteAfter trying out many different options and not liking any of them I found http://theoldreader.com/ and am loving it! No fancy frills, no confusing layout - just what I was looking for.
Becky- If The Old Reader had some type of syncing or API to use with other apps, I would have been all over that one too. I saw it has a pretty simple import option as well. Best wishes with it.
