I
can’t stand. I need say something about Google Reader death. I’m sad and
deeply disappointed about. I’m disappointed with Google for getting rid of this
great tool. I’m an enthusiastic reader of blogs. You can actually can find some
tips about what to read if you’re interested on the same stuff than I’m. I used
to follow all posts about Startups, geeks, marketing, big
data, apps, Smartphone market, Chile, and so on. As you can see
it’s quite difficult to get updated by just remembering all the good websites
that I ever found on the Web. Thus when I realized that Google Reader existed I
was a real happy guy and many times more productive. It sounds nerd: I’m a
proud one!
So
what to do?
Well,
you have no much choice. You must cry and move on. I’m personally using Feedly.
It’s pretty similar to Google Reader and actually they both are integrated if
you signed in using your Google account. Once you open up your Feedly page you
can instantly access to all your pages on Google Reader. Visually, its lay out
can be set up and in general terms is pretty easy to use. However it’s
still a bit stupid sometimes when you want to configure and organize your sites
for a fast catch up. You miss that deep-human understanding that only Google
can offer. All in all I personally think is a reasonable choice even though you
don’t have all the advantages of having your services fully integrated under
the same supplier.
I
can also recommend you this article on Mashable by Christina Warren where they explored all the alternatives available on the web for changing your
old friend. I explored some of them before picking Feedly. I hope it’ll be
helpful in your choice.
R.I.P.
Google Reader!
