Well, let's see if it actually does shut down or just stops getting supported. Me personally I never found it accessible at all. Frankly, I found it a pain in the... Well, you know what I mean there. If you've got all that sunk with your feeddler you should already be in good shape there. I've

Sorry for my ignorance, but is Google Reader a dedicated RSS reader? Several years ago I set up several RSS feeds that i customized by choosing a key word and I receive both email messages and RSS feeds with newspaper articles with those particular key words in them. I set this up by going to

Yes, Google Reader is a dedicated RSS reader. I don't know that it has the ability to send out emails. It's interface is web based, but it has an API that clients can use to sync your feeds with, so feeds you've read on one client will be marked read on all clients. On 03/14/2013 06:58 AM,

It's hard to argue that the relevance of RSS hasn't diminished somewhat over the years, but with the rise of social networking and just the sheer amount of information on the web, that could be said for a lot of things. As far as mostly being replaced by Twitter, that's just not the case for

To some extent, you can use Twitter lists to do what RSS feeds do. For example I have a general news list, and a tech news list. Most major news publications publish their RSS feed to Twitter. However, I prefer using an RSS reader for anything but breaking news where I want real time updates,

Yup and Newsrack is going to be in the same boat as many other RSS readers. It syncs with Google reader, at least for reading across devices/platforms. Jonathan On 13/03/2013, at 8:58 PM, Teresa Cochran vegaspipistre...@gmail.com wrote: Newsrack is a very good one. HtH, Teresa On Mar 13,

What a bummer. I never found a good accessible news reader on Linux, so I've just been using Feedller almost exclusively. Since I'm using it pretty much exclusively, I don't really need to sync it with the cloud. I know Feedller supports feeds outside of Google Reader. Does anyone know if I

Shocking indeed! I think the major problem here is the fact that while there are many fine news reading apps for desktop and mobile, none of them really sync with anything other than Google Reader. Hopefully, prior to July 1, this will shift and software will be updated. I'm sure there's a loyal

True, but the Google Reader API is the only accessible way I know of to sync feeds between a computer and a mobile device. Granted, it is just about the only way anyway. Hopefully this will change in the near future. On 3/13/13, Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com wrote: I don't think
