Dear reader, only one week is left until Google will shut down its popular Feed Reader. Since RSS is still relevant, it's time to migrate to another service. There are some alternatives that you could consider, when choosing a new feed reader.
Let's have a look at them.
On own behalf
If you want to continue reading my blog via RSS (and I hope you will), please add the following URL to your new feed reader:
https://www.palmmedia.de/Blog/Feed
Some alternatives
Feedly became quite popular after Google announced the shutdown Google Reader. They provide an UI that is quite similar to Google Reader, but I don't like to install a plugin to Chrome just to read some feeds. Why can't they provide a simple web interface?
Two other free service are FeedReader.com and digg.com. I did not try them myself yet.
Feedbin and 1kpl.us are paid services. They cost 2$ to 5$ per month.
RSSly is available for free. Currently it only has a German UI.
Get started now
Since there is not much time left, it's time to chose another feed reader now. You should have a look at the alternatives and export your feeds from Google Reader soon.
