Now that the demise of Google Reader is only a matter of weeks away, I have been getting to grips with Feedly. This will be the 'new' means by which I will be able to keep tabs on the numerous blogs that I follow. (I still don't understand why Google have decided to scrap Google Reader ... but it will be gone on 1st July so I had to find an alternative.)
I chose Feedly because it seems to work on all the devices that I am likely to use (PC, iPad, and Kindle) and because they promise that it will migrate everything from Google Reader without me having to do anything ... and from what I can see so far, it has worked.
At present my Google Reader 'page' looks like this when I open it:
![]()
The equivalent Feedly 'page' looks like this:
![]()
There is not a lot of difference between the two, although the Feedly page is currently optimised so that it gives me a 'Magazine View' and not a 'Full Article' view like Google Reader does.
