A Feed Is Born

Feedly a fresh read

by Juned on June 17th, 2008

All I can say is Feedly sexied up my Google Reader. If you are using FireFox as your browser you can install Feedly - which was formerly known as Feedo. It markets itself as one’s start-up page on your browser. Two important thing that it does:

1. It displays your Google Reader feeds like a magazine. You get the on-line magazine feel for your RSS Feeds.

2. It allows you to mark and share your content with friends and er friends. And this work both ways.

In a nut shell this is what Feedly delivers. But there is more one can also use Feedly to manage your feed. I guess since it uses your Google Reader, once you update or change anything on Feedly it is automatically and instantaneously reflected on Google Reader.

Furthermore as a start-up page it is not bad since it comes bundled with Google Search. There is a provision for adding emails and bookmarks but at this point it does not seem to work. I will try again later.

More updates on Feedly can be read at their blog, which is by the way the blog of Feedly man - Edwin Khodabakchian.

A comprehensive review of Feedly was written by Louis Grey entitled: Feedly Brings New Social Experience to Start Page, Leveraging RSS.. But again in a nutshell Feedly:

1. Presents the feeds that you read like a magazine.
2. Feedly allows you to comment, annotate, save and share any post

I like it and hope for more positive things to come from Feedly.
