As some of you may know, Google is discontinuing its Reader and since an RSS reader (or aggregator) is one of the tools you’ll be using for this class, here are some alternatives. If you are already using Google Reader, most, if not all, of these readers can automatically import all your feeds.
- Feedly (free; Windows, Mac)
- Flipboard (free; iOS, Android)
- NetNewsWire (free; Mac)
- NetVibes (free; cross-platform)
- Pulse (iOS; Android)
- NewsBlur (Standard account=free)
I’ve experimented with Feedly, NetNewsWire, and Flipboard and found them all to work well. When I’m out and about, I especially like to use Feedly (iPhone app). Anybody else have a favorite RSS reader?

Glad to hear it 🙂
OK I have figured it out.
I am new to this. How do I use Feedly as an RSS reader if there is not the green Feedly icon?
