Google just announced it’s shutting down Google Reader in three and a half months… I am participating in the friendly Reddit DDoS-hug of all the alternatives (list, but scroll around in the thread for a few more). Darn.
It’s very early to pick an RSS replacement, but I think I’m going for The Old Reader. Note: As of 2018, I’ve stayed with The Old Reader and been happy with it. It’s mainly a process of elimination: I don’t want to pay money or get my own server, Pentadactyl doesn’t seem to like Feedly (extension for the Fox), and I don’t think I want to create any accounts or link anything to Facebook, so there was my choice. Their blog post makes them seem ready for the challenge, although some waiting seems involved.
Well, on the bright side, happy Pi Day! It’s also Albert Einstein’s birthday. TIL.
