Google Reader alternatives

Hi friends,

Have you picked your side yet between Bloglovin' and Feedly?  I decided to try them both out. Actually, to be more honest, I purposely tried out Bloglovin' and forgot I had signed up for Feedly until I got a little message on my computer about it crashing. Anyway, I'm not in love with Bloglovin' yet because you can't read whole posts without clicking onto an individual blog. I follow over 100, so that is annoying. And I like that Google Reader shows a post as read after you scroll over it.

Anyway, I read a really great article on Jane's Fabrics and Quilts blog, so I'm going to send you there and she'll send you on to the article - happy reading and picking!

PS-
Lookie what I found today over at The Quilting Hottie Haven!! You can read all about the designing/research/pestering skills it took to bring us these fun magnets. They can be ordered here for cheap!

  2. Feedly lets you read whole posts without clicking and marks as read once you have. Same as google e-reader.

  4. I switched to Feedly after reading a bunch of articles listing pros and cons. Love it--both on PC and my iPad. I didn't bother testing out any others so didn't try to use Bloglovin' at all, but one of the things I liked best about Feedly was the 1-button transfer of my (well over a hundred) blog subscriptions while still maintaining my folders as they were. And I love the swipe interface to mark something as read. Very easy!

  5. Hi Guys I've found that netvibes gives me the best of what I liked about reader including marking items as read. Don't be put off by the front screen and change it from widget to reader (button that goes from grid to list) and its great! It brought in my blogs and groups that I have them in seamlessly and I can just go up and down with the keyboard or mouse to my hearts content!
