Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader
Are you using it as a chrome extension or webapp? Or is it separate from the browser? I beamed in and subscribed asking to transfer google feeds but saw no results. -- Owen On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Tom Johnson t...@jtjohnson.com wrote: All: If you're looking for an alternative to Google Reader, check out http://www.feedly.com -tj -- == J.

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader
It's really very pretty. I've been using it both on Chrome and Galaxy S3. The problem I have with it on chrome is that the text is mainly in grey, and there seems to be no way to make it darker. Also, it's a bit confusing how to adjust the settings as you want them. Finally, there is Help and a Forum, but it's not easy to find. All-in-all, though, I'm using it because I haven't found anything better. And as I said, it is really pretty. *-- Russ Abbott* *_* *** Professor, Computer Science* * California State University, Los Angeles* * My paper on how the Fed can fix the economy: ssrn.com/abstract=1977688* * Google voice: 747-*999-5105 Google+: plus.google.com/114865618166480775623/ * vita: *sites.google.com/site/russabbott/ CS Wiki http://cs.calstatela.edu/wiki/ and the courses I teach *_* On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 10:07 AM, Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net wrote: Are you using it as a chrome extension or webapp?

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader
Thanks, Tom, This is related to one of my complaints. I see no way to ask Feedly (on Chrome) to upgrade itself. I went to the list of Chrome extensions, which has a link to the Feedly website. (When I run Feedly, I don't see a link to the Feedly website from the tab in which it is running.) On the website, a button lets me launch Feedly. When I do it looks the same as always. The text color is grey, and I can find no way to make it darker.

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader
Agree w/ Russ. I found it quite confusing and really have no idea whether or not I've got it right. I tried just using their site, presuming there'd be a webapp like Google had. I couldn't find one so I enabled the chrome extension. That brought up a page that looked promising. There is a help page for getting to a look like GR. -- Owen On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 12:13 PM, Russ Abbott russ.abb...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Tom, This is related to one of my complaints.

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader
I liked the look and feel of the Galaxy app, but I was unable to find one for Windows. As I said, the Chrome extension is really quite pretty. Much nicer than Google Reader. I expect that I'll be happy with it. I just wish I could make the font darker.
