Feedly?!
NewsBlur!?
When did bookmarks get phased out?
Signing up and using Feedly has a few ups and downs. We shall mix them into a salad so you don't notice that yucky onion.
1. Signing up for new feeds was quick, easy, and completely pain free. There is a search feature that even allows you to locate new feeds with only a few words.
2. Feedly shows every new update on the chosen sites, but if you want to view the update you must visit the actual site. That is a major drawback. Especially when we are in the habit of visiting the site anyways to see if something new has been posted.
3. Once you have viewed a particular update (in my case a comic), it is removed from your feed. This is helpful in keeping track of what you have viewed and what is still in your queue.
4. Certain feeds lack a preview of the updated content. Feedly needs to spend more time viewing the feeds that it offers to ensure that a new feed notification is more than a simple phrase "New comic 10-10-2013"
Feeds have a much better use on mobile devices than on computers since you will already be going to your favorite sites in front of a computer. Getting a notification that Cyanide and Happiness created a new comic, while on the go, will help keep my mind trapped on the internet.
