With Google Reader going away, I decided to not delay looking for an alternative. Live Mail and Thunderbird are both options at home, but I don’t want an installed app for an RSS reader, I want a Web browser interface. The automatic importation of Reader links by installing a Chrome extension made feedly my top choice. It failed a couple of times due to connection resets that, I assumed, were caused by feedly’s servers being overrun with new users, as confirmed later by feedly. Once I had it working, some of the first tech site items I read indicated that feedly has an early lead as the #1 Google Reader replacement.
Killers! Assassins! I won’t let you! Wait, I must be channeling Dr. McCoy in “City on the Edge of Forever.”
I started playing with Feedly last week as well, as Google is also ending support of their iGoogle home page which has been my ‘net landing spot and RSS aggregator for many years… sigh. But I agree Feedly seems like the right answer as a replacement.
