A couple of years ago, Google Reader was discontinued and many people transferred to Feedly. In all honestly, I think I began using Feedly prior to the change because I liked it better anyway. Feedly is a tool to subscribe to websites and blogs through the website’s RSS feed. Feedly also gives me a way to organize my RSS subscriptions.
“RSS” is a subscription tool that allows you to download your favorite blogs or websites all at once into a reader. That’s where Feedly comes in. Currently I follow 35 blogs, news searches, and websites that I read throughout the day–they all dump their information into my Feedly–this is so I can get updates on my wife’s blog, my friends’ blogs, and many other blogs that have information that I’m interested in. I never must go their site, never have to wait for the download times–which is key, and I can get up dates on their website without taking the time to go there every single day. I receive the information as soon as they publish it.
You can subscribe to this page on Feedly by simply typing dustfile.com into the search box or you can also subscribe by email–it is available too and does basically the same thing into your inbox!
One of the things I like most about Feedly is that while it organizes everything in folders, the entire set up is incredibly easy.
So, if you read a lot of blogs and would like a way to not chase them down everyday—give Feedly a try!
