Alternative for google reader for free#

In the mean time, it is available for free in the iTunes app store and you can connect it to Feedbin. Reeder is still working out a solution for July 1st. I absolutely LOVE Reeder, It is such a beautiful way to read, save, share, etc. The biggest benefit (and the reason this will most likely be my choice) you can connect Feedbin to the Reeder app!! I currently use the Reeder app to read my Google Reader feeds. Feedbin is not free, it currently costs $2/month. Just like Google Reader, Feedbin has great keyboard shortcuts that will help you get through your news efficiently. You can organize all of your feeds by Tags. You can import your current feeds using the OPML import feature. Feedbinmakes it easy to subscribe to new feeds by domain or by feed url. Flipboard is available for the iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire and Nook.Ĩ. It brings your online life together in one place. You can also add your social networks including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The layout is beautiful and looks like a magazine. Flipboardrecommends feeds but also lets you subscribe to RSS feeds. It also lets you subscribe to podcasts, it automatically stores them in a directory and makes it easy to save them to a mobile device.ħ. If a keyword appears in a feed (whether you subscribe to it or not) it will apear in your feed. Feed Demonis not only an RSS reader, it also lets you set up keywords to be alerted about. The bad news: there aren’t any mobile apps.Ħ. You can add widgets like weather, Twitter, and top news stories to your NetVibe dashboard.

Basic accounts are free which will do what you need to follow your feeds. NetVibes is a RSS reader and a social aggregation service. Articles can be saved, shared, browsed, sorted by category.ĥ. Pulse looks a little more like Feedly and will also let you import your Google Reader feed (mobile version only). Pulselets you keep up on the blogs that you subscribe to, but it primarily recommends stories it thinks you will enjoy. The worse news: currently they aren’t allowing free users to sign up. Premium users pay $24 a year to subscribe to as many sites as they want. Now the bad news: free accounts are capped at 64 blogs and 10 stories at a time (this would never do for me).

News Blur is similar to Google Reader, you can share articles, save for future reading, star them or start your own daily “burblog” of news stories that you want to share with others. Feedly comes as browser extension and mobile app.ģ. You can easily transfer all of your current subscriptions from Google Reader to Feedly. With Feedly you can choose what type of layout you prefer. Feedly also has a great social aspect that makes it easy to share with friends and post to social networks. Great unless you have a reader like I do…then it becomes an endless rabbit hole that is hard to walk away from. In addition to collecting your RSS feeds for you, it has a news suggestion algorithm that will suggest other articles that you will probably find interesting. Alas, that is where I do the majority of my reading.Ģ. This option is free but is currently browser-based only…no mobile apps yet. For those super geeks (own it!) you can even use the same keyboard shortcuts. It looks a whole lot like the Google Reader you know and love. The Old Reader is in beta, it was built to be a replacement for Google Reader. If you are looking for a replacement RSS feed reader (say for your favorite blog…*ahem*) here are some great alternatives.ġ. On the upside: I’m being reminded of the brilliance I’m surrounded by online. Not willing to lose all of those favorites, I’m going through the painstaking process of saving them elsewhere. I talked to Feedly on Twitter and they said that they are working on it. I’ve found some great alternatives for Google Reader, but I have yet to find one that transfers both current RSS feeds and favorites. Today I decided to settle in and start going through my favorites to save them to my Pinterest boards. I’ve been trying to pretend that this day isn’t coming.

Google Reader is closing the door on July 1st. I can’t tell you how often I go to my Reader when I’m remembering something great that I favorited that I want to revisit or share. Whenever I find something I want to remember or be able to go back and read, I Tweet it out and then immediately favorite it. I’ve been using Google Reader since about 2007, and in that time I’ve amassed an enormous collection of favorites.

It is like my own customized newspaper delivered each morning. Honestly, I love having a centralized location for all of my favorite blogs. I’ve been in mourning over Google’s decision to shut down Reader.
