Alternative to G Reader

[spursncowboys]

What's a good one? I love Google Reader and was looking for one simple like it. Anybody using one they like?

[TeyshaBlue]

Flipboard ftw!

Prior to Flipboard, I used Pulse. Liked it too.

Looks just like the old Google Reader. I just wish they had apps, I do not like the magazine style apps like Flipboard.

Feedly

Flipboard looks great, but is not convenient at all

[leemajors]

Flipboard is not ideal if you subscribe to many feeds imo

I'm pulling 16 feeds across 3 pages....doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

I tried it, it looks nice but I prefer a different setup - i prefer a more basic layout like the Google Reader. I don't really care for Feedly either but it is nice too and has the kind of cross platform syncing my google reader clients do. I will probably end up clinging to what I have and just hope someone comes out with a nice API replacement.

I thought this is a pretty interesting article on this subject.

How long does it take to import my subscriptions? It's been like 4 hours still hasn't imported them.

I was using feedly but for whatever reason it won't play any podcast shows from smodcast.. I need my Tell 'em Steve-Dave. :cry

Sorry about that. :toast

[spursncowboys]

Feedly
That's what I got for my phone and tablet but they don't have a program. It's pretty bad ass though.

[sinok]

They do, at least for firefox.

They have a Chrome and FF extension, easy to install.

They may still be getting hammered, I haven't tried it but like the layout.

[leemajors]

Tried Feedly again this morning, I think I will stick with it for now - using full article layout with Chess theme. Syncing works perfectly.

Yeah i meant an offline program

[lefty]

Ok so I got rid of Taptu and Im now using Feedly

On both my Android phone and Chrome

Not bad at all

[IronMaxipad]

They may still be getting hammered, I haven't tried it but like the layout.
I like it because it actually streams smodcast shows unlike feedly.. The wait for the import is gonna be a pain in the ass.. Just saw this:


There are 29360 users in the import queue ahead of you.

:lol:depressed

Guess i'll just manually import my subscriptions

I like Feedly extension for CHrome

1 thing I like is that when you are browsing, let's say Spurstalk, and click on the little transparent arrow on the bottom right of the screen, it gives you the website in a magazine-like layout

Making progress!

There are 29326 users in the import queue ahead of you.

So in the 10 hrs between this post and the last one, by the rate you're going, it'll be done by Christmas!

I'm at 28149 unfortunately. :depressed

Fiddly is working pretty good. One minor issue is that I can't move a feed to a different category. I have to delete it first and then upload it again.

I just have them by site, which is how I had them in Google Reader anyway.

[NASpurs]

Blah I gave up on oldreader.com and tried out netvibes.com. It's pretty cool so far. Incredibly customizable, imported all of my feeds from Google Reader without a hitch and it even has a mobile version for the site for Android phones and Iphones. Oh and I'm using a free account which is good enough for me.

This is what it looks like (I changed the color).

*Hint: make sure to change it from widget -> reader in that part that I circled so it can look like that.

nvm I have been trying out feedly for a couple of hrs now and it's pretty badass. Consider me on board.

[IronMaxipad]

You are within first 1000 people in the import queue, your feeds should get imported shortly. Please be patient.

:lmao fuck this..

I'm using this now for podcasts:

and feedly for everything else

[spursncowboys]

Feedly it is! So far I like it more than G. Reader

[leemajors]

feedly is off Google's backend now, have not noticed a difference yet :clap

[lefty]

By the way, Taptu is a pretty good app too

[leemajors]

I like the new cloud web client, works better than the chrome extension imo

[NASpurs]

So months later, what are you guys using now? I've stuck with Feedly. Anything else worth recommending?

[lefty]

Feedly is great

If it ain't broken don't fix it

[Libri]

well the hackers - who are asking for a ransom - figured those 2 had a shitload of users and it would put pressure on the owners
