![]() When I like an article I’ve read in Google Reader, I either “share it” or “star it.” I typically share an item that I think others would be interested in. It used to happen to me quite often, but it has become less of a problem since I began using Google Reader to read RSS feeds. Have you ever read a good article on the Internet, but when you wanted to go back and read it a few days or months later, you weren’t able to find it? How do you use Craigslist for business, if at all? I am curious to know, so please leave a comment below. In Google Reader, I click on the subscribe button and paste the URL. When I scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a small RSS button on the right side.Īfter I click on the RSS button, I copy the resulting page’s URL. Indeed, it can be done and it is very easy.įor example, after selecting my location (Las Vegas), I can go to the For Sale – Computers section and search for a tablet (not that I’m looking for a used tablet on Craigslist, but it makes a good example for this blog post). My friend’s situation made me wonder if a Craigslist search could be pulled into Google Reader. If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know that I use Google Reader to pull content from all over the Internet and read it all in one place. He said that he frequently went to the Craigslist website and searched for the name of the equipment he wanted to buy. Not long ago, a friend told me that he hoped to buy a certain piece of used equipment on Craigslist. If you have any other suggestions, please leave a comment. Most impressive.Īnother reader app that I plan to test out is Feedly. On both my Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Note II, I’ve found it to be an impressive reader app. ![]() The below screenshot shows what my blog looks like in Flipboard. The app makes it easy to go from one article to another with a “flipping” motion similar to flipping the pages of a book. I signed into my Google Reader account via Flipboard and was pleased to see all of my subscriptions there in a beautiful newspaper-like format. So, I went home and downloaded the Flipboard app. Flipboard was highly recommended.Īfter I read that tweet, I decided to rethink my life. Twitter conversations immediately commenced in search of a replacement reader app. It’s my most frequently used app on my phone and tablet. I’ve used Google Reader nearly every day for the past several years to read the news, follow my favorite blogs, and subscribe to many helpful RSS feeds. I was shocked to read that Google Reader will be retired on July 1, 2013. I felt a great disturbance throughout the Internet, as if millions of blog readers suddenly cried out in terror. Goodbye, Google Reader – Hello, Flipboard! ![]() Maybe I won’t miss Google Reader as much as I thought I would. Instead of choosing one or the other, I’ve decided to use a combination of the two products. I agree with his assessment that Flipboard feels like reading a newspaper while Feedly is a more natural fit for reading blogs. Tim Gavin commented on my last post that he uses Flipboard for reading news and Feedly for reading blogs. On mobile devices, I prefer Flipboard’s navigation, but Feedly’s app has some great features and settings as well. I am a big fan of Feedly’s Chrome extension.
