RSS Feeder and Short Podcast

      For the homework, the RSS Feed Reader I’ve used, considering Google Reader has been defunct since early this year, has been the web-based reader from feedly.com. It’s a successor to Google Reader in a way, as it allowed everyone to transfer their feeds from the aforementioned app to this one. It’s been very useful in helping me keep up-to-date with the blogs I visit and read about and is organized very well for you when you load up the website. It has a design that is not only looks slick, but also boasts a user-friendly interface. For its main features, it offers three layouts that you can choose from: 1) Title Only View – Name of Blog – Title of Post, 2) Magazine View – More detailed setup – Sorts out posts by date and puts “Popular” posts on top, and 3) Cards View – Same concept as the Magazine View, just sorts it out 3 posts per row. Regardless of the view selected it’s very easy to navigate through the blogs and the posts. Unfortunately however your reader is only limited to the most recent posts, and there is no way to go back and look at the older posts that was made at the blog. But besides that, it is still one of the best options out there, as far as RSS Feeders go, and it also has a mobile app so you can take it on the go as well.
