Replacing Google Reader With Feedbin and Reeder

May 5, 2013 By Stephen 6 Comments

I am an avid Google Reader user, so I'm thoroughly annoyed by Google's decision to kill it as of July 1. But there's no stopping the tide, so I've made the move to Feedbin as a Reader replacement as of today. It's a slick, snappy web application with a committed developer and, critically, support for Reeder, my favorite offline RSS reading application. Let's hope this … [Read more...] about Replacing Google Reader With Feedbin and Reeder

Google Reader’s Roach Motel “Un-Friends” the Internet

October 31, 2011 By Stephen 3 Comments

July 15, 2009 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Google Reader has long been my RSS feed reader of choice, but using it was never much of a social experience. The earlier attempts at community, from shared feeds to comments, just fell flat. Good thing the solo experience (not to mention the iPhone version) was so solid or I would have given up a long time ago. Today, Google announced improvements to Reader, making the … [Read more...] about Google Reader Gets More Social

Google Is Heading For A Cliff; What Will They Do?

May 22, 2009 By Stephen 3 Comments

Google is the most important company to the Internet. Hyberbole? I think not! Without Google, the Internet that we all know and love would be a very different place, as would the business of IT. Along with Microsoft and the supporting community around LAMP, Google is the very foundation of modern computing. But the foundation of Google itself, its ability to rank Internet … [Read more...] about Google Is Heading For A Cliff; What Will They Do?
