Who will replace Google Reader? summing up

And now the day has come.

Today, the most popular client for reading RSS should cease to exist. I do not know if it will be accompanied by the event any natural disasters and street riots, but Layfhakera readers survive it quite calmly. I'm sure you of our articles chosen for themselves something suitable, but if you have not, do it now.

Before proceeding to the debriefing, I want to share with you some thoughts on the closure of Google Reader. Many observers have written that this event - a precursor to extinction RSS technology, that all readers will use to receive news social networks and similar pessimistic forecasts.

In my opinion, there has been exactly the opposite. Care of the arena Google Reader has breathed new life into this area and make room for new players. Those who had not heard of RSS abbreviations, during this time became acquainted with this technology, those who until recently did not know anything other than Google's products, discover new programs and Services. In short, rather than long-term stagnation, it has turned a pleasant bubbling that might breathe new energy into RSS.

Well, now let us return to the comparison service for reading RSS. Each of them in his own good, everyone will find enthusiastic fans, who will be his praise. Nevertheless, try to determine the winner.

the most mature and whole appearance of the products we examined produces no doubt Feedly. Almost a full range of functions needed to work with RSS are available, except for the search and import using OPML. Add to that crafted interface, which is simply a pleasure to be, and a decent speed. Once this service is completely developed infrastructure consisting of browser extensions and mobile applications. Priplyusuet Feedly also support third-party developers using its own API, and you will realize that the service excellent prospects.

Very good impression InoReader. While many newcomers the impression made in a rush on the knee crippled (not in the sense of people with disabilities, although it too, and in the sense of tracing paper) with Google Reader, this service gives the impression it is a complete and professional product. Yes, there are questions to the refresh rate of the individual channels, but I do not really pay attention, because in these days these services are experiencing enhanced load and it will get better in the future. The rest - an excellent replacement for the GR, which has all its functions, and even a little more. In addition, the developers promise in mid-July to please us with applications for Android and iOS, support, incidentally, independent reading. So pay attention to this project.

Can not be discounted, and oldies. Very good service NetvibesEspecially if you do not bother with it the essence of the widget, and regarded only as a RSS-reader. There is a sufficient set of features and a few other "branded", for example, the ability to select multiple items and a lot of themes. Service Yandex. subscription can attract not only fans of the decisions of the company, but also of all other stable performance, speed of updating feeds, simple customizable interface, integration with mail from Yandex.

For those readers who do not use RSS for entertainment and business purposes, I would like to remind about the possibility of export flows in your e-mail service. Using, for example, read Gmail NewsYou get at the disposal of all of its great features for automatic filtering, archiving, work offline, integration with other services and so on. Yes, it is a kind of designer who need to customize the hands, but these opportunities you will not get in any chitalke.

All others viewed me services have left, unfortunately, some solid experience. Their developers have yet to bring their offspring to mind, increase functionality and speed, look for the flavor that will distinguish them from a number of competitors.

In conclusion, I would like to know which service you choose and match your choice of whether those arguments that were made in this article. I invite you to vote for your favorite RSS-client, then you will see a link to the results of voting.
