Feedly

With the inevitable demise of Google Reader, I, and many others I’m sure, have been scrambling to find a new feed reader to have access to all our blog subscriptions.  After a little searching, I have settled on my choice:  Feedly.

Like many others already, I was impressed by the look and feel of Feedly, which is very graphic oriented, giving options to preview blog posts as if through a newsfeed as well as providing an easy to use archive interface to catch up on back posts.  What most impressed me about Feedly, however, was the ease of transition away from Google Reader.  A simple add-on install in both Firefox and Chrome were able to integrate Feedly into my browser, so I can receive new post alerts, and one click completely synched my feeds from Google Reader – including read and saved blogs!  Feedly is also available as a free app for iPhones and iPads, as well as Android devices.

I’m not sure how many readers access the content of this blog, be it through e-mails, direct links, or a feed reader.  If you are using Google Reader though, I’d advise you to pick up Feedly today, and save yourself the trouble or lost and missing posts from this, or any blog, come July.
