I'm seriously digging Feedly right now. Took 12 seconds to get into it and everything just makes sense. I wish I had found this ages ago.

No need to backup your feeds, it uses your google account for now.

Transitioning from Google Reader to feedly

Google Reader Posted on March 14, 2013 by @feedly

Google announced today that they will be shutting down Google Reader. This is something we have been expecting from some time: We have been working on a project called Normandy which is a clone of the Google Reader API – running on Google App Engine. When Google Reader shuts down, feedly will seamlessly transition to the Normandie back end. So if you are a Google Reader user and using feedly, you are covered.

Tangent: How on earth do product blogs not have a link to their product page? Nowhere is there a link to feedly.com in their header or sidebar, I have to manually edit the URL. Ridiculous.

Seems like the Chrome App can access:

* Your data on all websites * Your tabs and browsing activity

I'm not very comfortable with that. It also seems very unnecessary for an RSS reader.

It doesn't give an answer that is acceptable. That's no way an explanation. That's an excuse.

Feedly depends on Google Reader for now, IIRC.

edit: They're fixing it! http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/
