Search giant Google is closing its very convenient RSS reader Google Reader, and this has created quite a stir as users scramble looking for alternative ways of subscribing to their usual RSS feeds. There are several awesome alternatives out there you can start using before Google Reader’s end even arrives.
One of these is Feedly, an RSS reader that currently enables users to sync with Google Reader though this won’t be for long. When launched, Feedly brings up a menu of numerous sites ranging from Apple to Android to business to design, and you can subscribe to whole categories or individual sites with one click. You can also search for specific topics, site names, or URLS and subscribe. There is a History function, a “Save for Later” feature, and sharing capability on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
