cetla Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Apparently there's a huge demand for news aggregation as Google would like you to believe otherwise. If you go ahead and check Newsblur, Feedly, The Old Reader, their sites are bombarded with traffics causing them to significantly slow down. I just imported my Greader account to The Old Reader and already the site is taking forever to load all my feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted March 14, 2013 Member Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm not sure what is going on with Google. This seems like a crazy move to me. Glad you found an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted March 14, 2013 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2013 Jeez come on Google, seriously? Ugh, whatever I guess. So for desktop, what are some good rss readers you guys use then? Both web based and actual software would be a good thing to know :D (And yes, I know RSSBandit etc) And for android, lord there's a million of them. Which do you guys use there? Just curious. I want to compare my usage I guess now that GR is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelyn Harthbrooke Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I don't know why they are retiring Google Reader either. Lot's of people used it. But we still have lot's of alternatives to choose from once Google Reader goes away. I personally like Feedly. It's very good and it has apps for basically every platform, except for Windows Phone and Windows 8. You can access Feedly's website by going here: http://www.feedly.com/index.html :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealexweb Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm sad Reader is going too but I guess it makes sense. They have a lot of popular services but some have no means of supporting themselves financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundayx Veteran Posted March 14, 2013 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2013 Feedly is a good alternative? I'll wait for a bit to see how users are transitioning. Any new users willing to do a quick review on Feedly comparing to Reader? Too bad though I use Reeder app on iOS and Feedly isn't supported (yet hopefully).

Feedly has an iOS app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/feedly/id396069556?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=homelink I'm finding Feedly pretty good, although I wish it would make use of larger screens.

Growled Member Posted March 15, 2013 Member Share Posted March 15, 2013 I've been playing with Feedly today and I really like it. At least Google accomplished one thing with all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
