Feedly Pro now available to everyone, offers a 'more powerful' reader for a fee

Feedly’s popularity increased massively with the news of Google Reader being put out to pasture, so much so that it figured it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to introduce a paid version of its RSS service. Therein Feedly Pro was born. Now, after being available to a limited amount of people, Feedly Pro is opening its doors to everyone, provided folks are willing to fork over the $5 per month or $45 per year for the extra functionality. Here’s what those fees will get you in return: more search options within feeds, one-click integration with Evernote and Pocket, premium customer support and, lastly, HTTPS support to keep things vastly more secure. According to Feedly, additional features will be coming regularly to Feedly Pro in order to bring more productivity tools to users and, perhaps more importantly, make itself sustainable going forward.

AOL Reader Worth Trying As Google Reader Fades Out

After a few leaks, the AOL reader is now official. I’ve played with it over the week-end, and I find it to be quite interesting. First of all, Google Reader (which is closing on July 1) users will like the […]

AOL Reader launches into private beta, thanks Google for the opportunity

AOL Reader launches into private beta, thanks Google for the opportunity

Google: “Eh, we’re kind of over this Reader thing. Let’s go launch some balloons.”

AOL: “Why, thanks guys — don’t mind if we do!”

The above mentioned quotes are still unofficial, mind you, but it appears that AOL (disclaimer: that’s Engadget’s parent company) is joining Feedly and Digg in an effort to capture the audiences who will soon be forced to flee from Google’s Reader product. AOL Reader launched today in beta form, promising to collect “all your favorite websites, in one place.” It appears that the design language follows that introduced in the entity’s Alto mail product, and if you’ve forgotten your AOL password, fret not — those who request (and receive) an invite will be able to sign in via Facebook, Google or Twitter. Oh, and judging by the shot above, it’s designed to work universally across screen sizes and devices, including your tablets, phones, desktops, laptops and space-age computational creations. Of note, it appears that the sign-up forms aren’t entirely active just yet, as we’re hearing that the bona fide launch won’t occur until next week.

Update: We’ve confirmed that invites will be accepted starting on Monday, June 24th.

Digg Reveals Key Points To Makes Its RSS Reader As Good As Google Reader

Digg Reveals Key Points To Makes Its RSS Reader As Good As Google Reader

Earlier this month, Google announced it would be discontinuing its Google Reader service with a petition on Change.org reaching over 100,000 in hopes Google would change its mind. As a result, a number of companies are scrambling to provide their own Google Reader replacement, with once popular news aggregator website, Digg, gaining the most attention.

Digg didn’t reveal any details at the time as to what it plans to do exactly, but today, they’re lifting the veil of secrecy just a tad to give us a glimpse as to what we should expect from the service. The company went through 800 comments on its announcement post to come up with four important key points for its RSS reader: (more…)

Digg Wants To Create Own RSS Reader

Digg Wants To Create Own RSS ReaderThe news of Google Reader calling it a day in a few months’ time certainly proved to be quite a shock to those who did not expect such an announcement, and since then, other companies would love to take up the mantle and possibly, mindshare of those soon-to-be orphaned Google Reader users. In fact, the folks over at Digg have stepped forward with belief that Google Reader is worth saving, which is why they intend to come up with an RSS reader of their own sometime in the second half of this year.

Digg hopes that this attempt of theirs will be able to make the Internet a more approachable and digestible place to hang out (virtually speaking, of course), and has clearly placed it at the top of their priority list after Google’s recent announcement. Digg intends to identify and rebuild the best of Google Reader’s features (including its API), bringing them up to speed with Internet trends for this year, and hope to churn out a worthy successor along the way. Hence, they will obviously need help from the masses, including input from their readers, so you can always drop by Digg and share with them your two cents. [Press Release]

Digg to build a Google Reader replacement with same API, new features

The news of Google Reader’s upcoming demise has put the spotlight on several alternatives that RSS fans can only hope will fill the gap. The latest to vie for our attention doesn’t even exist yet: Digg just announced that it will be creating a reader of its own. According to its blog, the aggregation service was apparently already planning to build such a reader, but upon hearing that Google’s version will bite the dust, the company is kicking into gear to develop a suitable replacement. Digg’s reader will maintain what it calls the best of Google Reader’s features, including its API, while incorporating changes that reflect the relevance of social networks and other popular Internet communities.
