I will try this, looks interesting.

Btw, how about an article dedicated to wallpaper changers? I am currently using Wallpaper Juggler and I am liking it. I was using John’s Background Switcher but it uses too much resources since it was a .net application.

@Question: as pointed by brad, despite the fact that feedly is an extension, it does not save any state on the client. So you can install it on multiple machines and room from one machine to the other and everything will always be up to date.

This sounds really cool, but would I have to manually put all my feeds in it that I have on my igoogle pages? I’ll probably try it either way.

This is the reader I’ve been waiting for! I’ve been using it for almost a week (after being a long-time dedicated NetVibes user) and it’s the best.

To me it’s like reading a newspaper. I can connect to all the information I want through one simple interface, without having to visit a whole lot of different sites. And for the sites that only have excerpts in their feeds, Feedly will open the whole article in a mini window on the Feedly page. No need for new tabs, windows, etc.

I have been using it on several computers and I would like if they could somehow sync read/unread info, etc.

I’ll admit that I haven’t installed or used this add-on yet… But what am I missing? Why a Firefox add-on and not just a website that everyone can access and set as their browser’s home page? (I am a Firefox user, but I don’t want to set this up at work and at home).

And that, Jeff, will be exactly why Feedly, no matter how much Shankar raves about this freebie, is not used by some people.

Adding labels to my greader is a no no…I have those labels set up for a reason and I’d rather not have them messed with.

Shankar,

Very detailed explanation about Feedly. After seeing this article, I installed it and test it. So far, I’m liking what I see. Thanks a lot.

I stand corrected you hit recommend and it does show up on your shared page. Makes Feedly even better. I recommend this add-on.

Feedly takes some getting use to. You have to really use it for a while to get to know how to use it. I did not like the folders it created on my GReader account. Getting use to them but wish they would not do that.

Would be nice to be able to share a post and have it post to Google shared page. Worth adding and seeing what you think. I found this post from Feedly.

Thanks for the review.

I’ve recently started using Feedly, after hearing about it from none other than the one and only Leo Laporte. Being an avid Leo fan, I usually hop onto whatever site he talks about. I know, I’m lame like that. Anyway, I absolutely adore the feature in Feedly that allows me to synchronize it with Netvibes (which was my old start page). This makes it really easy for someone who has a lot of feeds in another service to move over to Feedly. The thing that made me wary of moving from Netvibes was that since I had about 50 feeds, and it would have been a pain to manually place them into a new start page, one by one. Thankfully, Feedly has made this task very easy to manage, and I just love mushing multiple services together.

To Edwin and everyone else on the development team; good job, and keep up the great work.

Thank you very much for the review. We are still early in our dev cycle and look forward to you suggestions of what should be fixed and what should be changed!
