Can you explain what this means? What's involved here? How does it differ from dumping all your RSS feeds into an ordinary RSS reader?
- selykg 6y agoThink of Google Reader as a 3rd party sync API, and a variety of tools use this API. lets use Twitter as an example. Google Reader is Twitter with their API Reeder (or your RSS reader with support for the API) is like Tweetbot. This isn't a great example, because read status of feed items and all that is handled by Google Reader. But it's close.
