Ask HN: Would you pay for using Google Reader?
- johnny22 13y agonewsblur isn't exactly like google reader, but it's likely close enough for your question. Here are the stats that show when logged into newsblur as of this post: Premium (Paid)Users: 7,534 Standard (Free) Users: 11,387 So it looks like 11,387 folks would at $24/yr (USD).
- phasevar 13y agoYep!
- ninthfrank07 13y agoYes. I actually switched to https://feedbin.me https://feedbin.me in April and never looked back. 2$/month. I am super satisfied so far. And it even works with Reeder for iPhone! (support for Mac and iPad is coming) Feedbin will be down today though. They are getting new servers. See http://blog.feedbin.me/2013/06/27/feedbin-server-move/ http://blog.feedbin.me/2013/06/27/feedbin-server-move/.
- corobo 13y agoNo, it's being shut down soon. But seriously, yes I would have happily forked out had I been given the option.
- ragatskynet 13y agoI wouldn't - the news of the Google Reader shutdown made great opportunity for many nice RSS/news readers to be born; so I would just switch, there are plenty of good alternatives now. I actually use Feedly now - its perfect for me.
- bagnus 13y agoIn hindsight, I'm glad they shut it down. I've discovered so many alternatives. Like others in this thread, I've opted to go for Feedly. I like how it syncs across my desktop, mobile and tablet.
- meerita 13y agoNo. I preffer to pay to a small company than one that can afford that and more.
