 7 Best Google Reader Alternatives
An RSS feed, standing for Rich Site Summary or more popularly Really Simple Syndication is a form of data notification that is used to tell people when a new piece of information is available. It is a very popular device used by blogs to tell people when a new blog post is available. It can be used in order to gain updates about other things such as websites or social media sites. 7 Best Google Reader Alternatives The Google Reader is an RSS feed reader that a lot of people use, and is the main competitor to the Internet Explorer feed reader which is integrated into the browser. It is a feed reader that shows people when an RSS feed has been updated. This usually means that a new post or update is now available. Sadly, the Google Reader service is being shut down on July 1, 2013 making us look elsewhere. Here are seven alternatives to the Google Reader, and many of them may be used on mobile devices.

It allows you to move your feeds from the Google reader onto this reader (if you wish), but is more optimized for feeds that come from social media websites. There is no mobile app at this time, so you will have to use it on your desktop computer. You should try out some of these, before settling on your Google Reader alternative. By the way, Facebook has been working on a “Reader” especially for mobile users for the past year or so.
