    Google Reader Alternative

    I have been using Google Reader for a few years to automatically pick up my job searches from a number of the Job Boards like Jobserve, Monster etc. I've found this a useful addition to maintaining contacts with Agencies.

    Google have decided to 'retire' Reader in a month or so; I am now looking for an alternative.

    Many of the RSS Readers are OK for 'polling' round news sites but aren't that good when it comes to job searches. Feedly, for example doesn't seem to like search 'url'.

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Cheers.

    I use it a lot for reading articles and I know the SEO community are up in arms about it. Digg have promised to build a replacement:

    There are quite a few other alternatives out there as well, I stuck Feedly on my iPad yesterday but not had time to look at it yet. What O/S you on?

      feedly announced Normandy to provide an alternative feed for themselves and others.

      I do like it because it keeps me consistent across my computer, ipad and phone.

        Feedly has picked up 500000 ex-Google Reader users since they announced they were shutting Reader down.

        My wife recommends it, and a number of people I know use it as well.

          Thanks, the transition was painless as feedly allowed me to use my google account which pulled in all of my RSS feeds.

            Many alternatives

            Simple Google Search shows at least 10 of them.Which is the best I have no idea.
