Alternative To Google Reader

By pulling the plug on Reader service, Google will break the hearts relying on it for aggregating content from their favorite websites and blogs.

Here are the words Google used to justify the dreadful act;

“We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.”

Now come on the main topic That is Alternative To Google Reader : 

Google Reader, the popular news aggregator and reader service, is in its last week of existence. After July 1, it won't be accessible. The impending demise created an opportunity for many other RSS ( Really Simple Syndication) services to provide an alternative by ramping up their features. 

A feed aggregator, like Reader, delivers you content from multiple websites on one single page. If you follow, for example, 20 websites, you don't need to open each of them to see the updated content. Moreover, the updated content may not be on the home page, and there is every possibility that you may miss it. A feed aggregator solves the problem. Not surprisingly, Google Reader was very popular and for reasons best known to Google, it's being shut down. 

The first off the block to fill the void was Feedly, which got into action on the very day Google announced the decision, on March 13. They increased server capacity and provided easy syncing with Google Reader. During the last three months, Feedly has been regularly updating and upgrading the features, and as of now, it is the best alternative to Google Reader. 

It provides you not only a Google Reader-like experience, it goes beyond and does what the Reader failed to do: a magazine format with curated contented. There are two other ways of viewing the feeds: card and full article. 

It also integrated with IFTTT, a service that enables users of websites to connect and share content with other sites. So, the Feedly channel can be connected to 65 channels like Buzzfeed, Facebook, Evernote, Flicker, Gmail, Wordpress, etc. 

"We delivered a one-click migration tool which allows users to migrate their feeds, categories, starred items and tags from Google Reader to the Feedly cloud. It is available at http://cloud.feedly.com," says a blog post. It has mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
