I use Feeddler on my iPhone too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pConcord\">Feeddler is, in my opinion, a really good fit for the way I use rss. <\/p>\n<p class=\"pConcord\">For example it lets me set a preferred address (well two) which are already filled in with my home and work address, so it is very few clicks to send an interesting link to my work address from my breakfast table. Feeddler also lets me trim down the services it shows, which saves a bit of scrolling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pConcord\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troutcolor\/9130401876\/\" title=\"Untitled by troutcolor, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2859\/9130401876_b68da9997e_n.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"320\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What I&#8217;ve done to prepare:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ulConcord\">\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Read a lot of blog posts collecting links on pinboard tagged <a href=\"https:\/\/pinboard.in\/u:johnjohnston\/t:Googlereader\/\">googlereader<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Bought the new version of Feeddler:  <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/feeddler-rss-reader-pro-for\/id382515420?mt=8\">iPhone-only Pro version<\/a>. To go with this I got an account on <a href=\"http:\/\/theoldreader.com\/\">The Old Reader<\/a> and a trial on <a href=\"https:\/\/bazqux.com\/\">BazQux<\/a> both which sync with the Feeddler. I&#8217;ve taken up an account on <a href=\"http:\/\/hivereader.com\/r\/#\/\">Hive<\/a> too.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">The Free Feeddler app has been updated too, I am really hoping the paid version of the iPad one is updated or there is a new version to buy that supports the pro features, especially the link menu like the iPhone one above.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">When things settle down a bit, I&#8217;ll choose one service to either pay for or  donate to. I pay for flickr, pinboard and a few other services, I use RSS a lot more than those and would be delighted to support a good service.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">I&#8217;ve installed the beta of <a href=\"http:\/\/netnewswireapp.com\/\">NetNewWire<\/a> which was the first rss app I ever used. <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">I&#8217;ve also set up a <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/tests\/rivers.html\">few rivers<\/a> with some of the feeds from my greader export. This is the most <i>interesting  development<\/i>. This uses <a href=\"http:\/\/dave.smallpict.com\/2013\/06\/22\/whatIUseToReadRss\">Dave Winer&#8217;s River3<\/a> and is starting to get useful. I&#8217;ve had a few experiments with river2 and the OPML editor before this, but this one is up and running. <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only a few days until Google Reader grinds or snaps to a halt.
