Like many other folks I'm looking for an alternative. I've tried three so far:
Feedly offers lots of ways to share what you read and is easy to navigate with the "J" key, just like Google Reader. For some reason I'm just not thrilled with it and I can't explain why.
I've pretty well settled on
The Old Reader as my new reader. Like the name implies, it is a lot like Google Reader used to be before it's last revamp. The sharing buttons aren't quite as clear, but I'm not big of sending stuff to everyone anyway.
Bloglovin is harder to navigate in my opinion than the others. What I like is that it sends me a daily email showing snippets of all the new posts so I can read them that way if I choose.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I have imported all my feeds to both feedly.com and theoldreader.com The latter feels most like google reader so I'll probably stick with it - it's the simplest to move from one post to the next
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hint about the J key - that does make it easier to navigate. Now I am not totally sold on one over the other... still time to decide
ReplyDeleteI too am searching for an alternative. I would like a service that I can read on the web and on my Android phone. Right now I am trying to give Feedly a chance, but the interface just doesn't do it for me. I can't explain why, but I like how Google Reader is "cleaner".
ReplyDeleteThis is helpful. I'm struggling with the issue as a reader, because although I imported everything to my WordPress reader, the format there is not very friendly--it's just a long glut of post after post, without any particular organization. I like having them separated by "home," especially for the sites that post multiple times a day--or whose posts I have to save for a day or two b/c I need time to process them carefully.
