See you in hell, Google Reader. I really don’t understand why Google had to kill it, I truly don’t. I also don’t know why more people don’t utilize RSS readers. How do you keep up with all your blogs??
Well, in a post-Google Reader world, Feedly is my new go-to for an RSS reader. I checked out Feedly shortly after Google announced they would be shuttering Google Reader, and wasn’t really impressed. However, about a week or so ago, I checked it out again, and I actually really liked it. There’s a lot of customizable options, so that I can see either the full blog posting, a picture and a partial paragraph, or just a headline, and I can change it for each blog I’m subscribed to, which is seriously amazing. GR didn’t have that kind of awesomeness. So for some blogs that I really just want to skim through the headlines to see if there’s anything worth reading, I just have the headlines viewable, and for others, I have the ‘Magazine View’, which I find not only helpful, but also aesthetically pleasing. I also like how the blogs with updates are the only ones shown on the sidebar (though you can hit 'see more' to see the rest).
I think things are going to be okay after all, thanks to Feedly.
Um, BTW, this wasn’t a sponsored post or anything. I just really dig Feedly.
