As a non-native English speaker, this article is unreadable to me because of the poor English

  Hi, I understand you, I'm trying to do my best to improve my english skills. Any comments are welcome to make it more understandable for your and anybody else.

    Hey, that's great, and I hope you don't take my comment personally, hopefully you will spend time improving your grammar and writing style. This will help you greatly. My comment should only reflect that in today's fierce fight for people's attention, content producers can't afford too many grammar mistakes. Anyway, keep shipping, that's the only way to improve!

  The author was able to make his thoughts clear to me. I wouldn't do as well writing on this topic in my second language, even though I spent most of last year studying about five hours per day. Were you really unable to understand, or did you just find it irritating? If the latter, could you find it in your heart to spend an extra thirty seconds understanding it instead of writing a comment like this?

    I honestly couldn't follow the author's train of tought, mainly because of the horrible grammar. I guess if I really wanted to, I could spend a few minutes trying to parse the phrases and deduct the meaning, but I find that unreasonable, given the high probability that the article is very light in substance anyway.

How Feedly is not dependent on Google Reader? I see that it syncs with Google Reader, but what will happen when Google Reader will die? Does Feedly provide simple import/export functionality? Are we free to export our subscriptions from Feedly to some other software?

  Feedly will switch to their own platform once Gooogle Reader is closing. You can find more information here http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/ http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/
