Google Reader Alternatives

[daniel187]

As you've probably heard, google reader is shutting down. Just wondering if there are any decent WP8 rss apps that do not use google reader as their backbone? Thank =)

Weave syncs RSS feeds cross-platform?

There is no Windows 8 Weave app yet, but it is coming. I tweeted the developer.

Yeah this threw me for a loop this morning when I woke up to that bit of turd on my reader feed. I saw a bunch of sites all posting alternative API systems to Google reader but of course not a single one of them mention Windows Phone.

And what about Win 7? Browser access?

Try 'feed me' guys. It has newsblur sync and google reader sync. Though its not a cross platform app, its a good stand alone reader too.

Well that was pretty much the last Google service i still used. Looking for an alternative as well but i want something that i can read on my desktop and also on my phone. One account that stays in sync everywhere.

That's why there is the Newsblur sync. Anyway I will check out a few Readers app and will share the results later today...

Yeah but now Newsblur has suspended free accounts...I guess with Google Reader shutting down, why not take advantage of the surge of expats to cover upgrade costs... so I'm also still looking for a WP app that will sync with Feedly or Netvibes. I don't mind paying a couple bucks for the app on the device, but I ain't paying no yearly subscription for the web service when it was a long time free service until opportunity struck. And there's other free services out there, just gotta get one of the developers to add more reader options to their product (ASAP, July's just around the corner). Jeez, first the whole WLM-Skype debacle, now this... life on WP used to be great.
