There was a recent online fracus about the death of RSS. If you missed it, Mathew Ingram over at Gigaom gives a good overview of the main players and their thoughts. The end result seems to be we can all calm down again, it isn’t going anywhere.
That is why I want to bring you attention to Feedly, which takes your Google Reader feed and turns it into a magazine style display. Using your Gmail ID to log in, it synchronizes with Google Reader and displays content on an easily organized and customizable page. I have been using it for a while, and beyond been beautiful to look at, it gives you plenty of insight into how you think about your feed, what you really focus on and what you may be missing, by allowing you to visualize your feed differently.
As librarians are passionate RSS users, it is certainly worth giving it a try.




One Response to Feedly, your RSS magazine

That Feedly is sweet indeed.
Death of RSS? Like you, I don’t think so. RSS is just the tip of the Web 3.0.
