Google Reader to close – one option I’ve started using

Update: There’s now a collaborative googledoc which is crowdsourcing other options here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ApTo6f5Yj1iJdFRfWmhUVjV0WkktTjJhUUE4dGR5WUE&toomany=true#gid=0

I was an avid GoogleReader user – for many years – so I’m one of the people this is going to inconvenience. However, I had already started migrating some feeds to a platform I’ve been working on called n0tice.com – in part to test it, but also because it was easy – plus, for hyperlocals, it’s got the added advantage of geo-tagging.

One of the things I used GoogleReader for was simply to monitor the activity of some sites and blogs I’m interested in keeping an eye on but didn’t want the bother of visiting several times a day. As an alternative I set up feeds into a dedicated Noticeboard and simply let it run, checking in via mobile or desktop every now and then.

It’s not the same as GoogleReader but, if collecting, folling and sharing RSS feeds is what you need, it makes all that possible. See www.northerner.n0tice.com for an example – RSS feeds of the bigger news sites covering the north of England where I’m based. There’s some ‘how to’ here and happy to help anyone getting started too: http://n0tice.org/2013/01/04/using-feedwax-com-to-curate-information/.
