And so the end of Google Reader begins

Feedly finally let’s you import your Google Reader account (previously you could only sync it), marking the impending finality of Google Reader.

Feedly is my new Google Reader…I guess.

    Do you have to import or will feedly just do that automatically for those of is that are syncing?

    Until today, I would log into Feedly and it would ask if I want to sync my Google Reader account. Today it asked if I want to import my Google Reader account. I clicked “Yes” and it did it automatically.

    I got really tired of how Feedly was highjacking Google Chrome, so I started using TheOldReader.com. I’m generally pleased so far. It looks a lot like Google Reader, and the responsive design makes it acceptable on mobile too.

    Looks interesting but I almost only ever consume my RSS feeds on my mobile device. Do you do a lot of that in the browser?

    Ah, I see your point. I only use rss readers on laptops, but probably because I have too many subscriptions to make it worthwhile on mobile. For me, mobile is for breaking news and headlines, or I just use FB/Twitter to see what people are sharing.
