[Tip] Great Google Reader Alternative- Feedly | Get On With Your Life





So Google's decided to pull the plug on Google Reader.  If you're like me, this was about like being splashed in the face with cold water; it came as quite a shock.  I'm sure there are reasons why they did it, and I'm also sure that life will go on without it.


The truth is, there are alternatives.  One in particular, that works extremely well is called Feedly.  Feedly does a great job of offering all your RSS subscriptions to you in various ways that I believe will satisfy users across the board.  

To sync with your existing Google Reader RSS subs, simply login by connecting to  Google Reader and Feedly will immediately sync everything over.  In the meantime, any changes you make in Feedly will show up on Google Reader, as well. After July 1st, Feedly will continue to deliver your RSS subscriptions to you without any interruption. 



As previously mentioned, Feedly offers several display options designed to suit a variety of users.  To change views and make it look like your old Google Reader layout, go into Settings and choose "Titles".





Feedly is available on your PC/Mac, as well as Chrome, Android, and iOS and will sync across all of your devices, no matter where you are.  It has both, an app and an extension for Chrome.  
If you're looking for a great, reliable Google Reader alternative be sure to try it out.
