Google killed the RSS feeds for me. On the flip-side, I am thinking to get back to them sometime soon.
- VLM 9y agoI was kinda worried about RSS "dying" due to google. Before google reader died I had about 140 feeds in my newsblur, right now in my newsblur tab I have 134. I'm not thinking google reader dying impacted the RSS ecosystem very much although there was a very small measurable effect.
- anabisengrin 9y agoWhy do you act in such a victimized way ? You were trapped in a closed system, the trap crumbled down and now you're free. Google did not kill RSS, it killed its RSS reader and that's it. The number of websites providing an RSS feed has not declined since. I mean I really do not understand your way of thinking ? When Google is no more, will it have killed maps and videos ?

- mantas 9y agoI stopped RSSing after Google Reader was gone. I started using RSS (well, whatever is left of RSS..) few months ago. Happy!
- fredley 9y agoI just logged into The Old Reader for the first time in a long time. What a lot of interesting stuff I used to follow.
- smsm42 9y agoWhen Google killed the Reader, I switched to Feedly and still using them. Useful enough so I have paid subscription. Still using them after four years, nothing better around as far as I can see. Facebook certainly not even in the same galaxy, and I have no idea why Twitter even mentioned in that topic. IMHO RSS and accompanied readers are still the best for keeping oneself informed.
- hylianwarrior 9y agoI came to this thread from Feedly :)
- InternetUser 9y agoSame here. I follow HN FROM Feedly so I can minimize the risk of missing any post.
- corobo 9y agoFeedly killed RSS for me. The way their mobile app scrolls[1] articles just absolutely ruined the experience and I couldn’t find any better app/service before giving up on RSS entirely [1] https://i.imgsir.com/G0jR.gif https://i.imgsir.com/G0jR.gif - weird entire page scroll going on instead of just scrolling normally. Makes it impossible to skim read the titles
- pencilcode 9y agoI use reeder as the client, much better than feedly ‘s ui but feedly is still the backend. Working great since I came back to rss for about a year.
- corobo 9y agoThanks I'll give that a go. I am going to have so many unread articles if I get back into RSS reading hah
