RSS reader Feedly made its premium product, Feedly Pro, available to everyone on Monday. It costs $5 a month or $45 a year and offers a few perks like search and Evernote integration.
In many ways, Google’s shutdown of its RSS reader is just a small part of a larger move away from open web standards and towards closed, proprietary platforms that are easier to control and monetize.
July 1 has come and gone, and so has Google Reader. Our post-mortem.
Former Google Reader employees says he’s bummed to see the product depart, but points to wealth of replacements already cropping up.
The iOS RSS app Reeder is working to get ready for Google Reader’s death, but updated apps that work with services like Feedly and Feedbin won’t be ready by July 1.
Feedly is no longer relying on Google Reader’s backend, and on Wednesday it announced a much-requested web-only version and a bunch of new apps.
As the time ticks down toward Google Reader’s demise, Feedly — which has emerged as a leading alternative — announced that it’s partnering with a bunch of other RSS clients, including Reeder and Press.
Ping.it aims to help users discover targeted content across the web — for example, YouTube videos that appeared on Reddit and got the largest number of Facebook likes. The service, in public beta, is still clunky, but worth checking out.
iOS RSS app Reeder is going free on Mac and iPad while it gets some updates. The app will live on after Google Reader dies, creator Silvio Rizzi says.
RSS service Feedly announced Monday that it’s picked up 3 million new users in the two weeks since Google announced it’s killing off Google Reader. The company is also planning to launch a paid premium version.
This week’s call in podcast answers your questions about a Samsung smartwatch, Google Reader alternatives, carrier software updates on unsubsidized phones, and nifty Galaxy S 4 features that could find their way to the Galaxy Note 2.
On this week’s show we look at the new Galaxy S 4, do a pre-post-mortem on Google Reader and learn how to get better seats at a ballgame.
Heartbroken over the news of Google Reader’s demise? RSS isn’t the only way to keep up with the news. Here are five news reader apps for iOS that we like.
Google is shutting down more projects it considers distracting to core business. So far it has shut down 70 such apps and services, but it is Google Reader whose loss I bemoan.
For all the talk of social media replacing RSS, I still find it to be the best way to get news efficiently. A quick look at the Mac App Store shows quite a few RSS reader options, so here’s a look at three of the best.
Even with Twitter, Facebook and so many other social discovery tools popping up, I’m still a big fan of good old-fashioned RSS for my reading needs. That’s why I’m excited about the release of Reeder for Mac, which is now available on the Mac App Store.
I’m a huge fan of anything that can make me more productive, so I’m always looking for ways to accomplish more while not killing myself doing it. It’s easier to excel if you can do more than your peers while still having time to recharge.
More efficient use of our RSS readers can have a big impact on our overall productivity. As Google Reader is one of the more widely-used RSS readers, I thought it would be a good idea to share some tips for getting the most out of it.
Google Reader’s native mobile interface is OK, but it isn’t optimal for downloading items to read offline. So I was interested to try FeedsAnywhere, a new service that promised to improve Google Reader’s own mobile experience. Since it’s HTML-based, it works on lots of mobile devices.
Last March, I wrote a piece about the 10 apps a web worker can’t do without. A year later, and the app landscape has shifted significantly, so here’s an updated list of what I consider to be the best solutions for our critical tasks in 2010.
There are lots of reasons to like Buzz; there have already been some great tips published on how to use it. But I’m feeling frustrated, not only because of the privacy issues, but for a more basic reason: it feels slow and not very usable.
