Google Reader replacement: I am hating Feedly

[ohgillian]

I was addicted to Google Reader. I've been using Feedly for maybe 2 weeks now, and while the phone app is fine, I don't like the desktop version. What else are people using for RSS? Sorry if this is a Heath...

I don't know, I love feedly!

I am no help.

What don't you like about the desktop version?

Lol, because as I clicked "create post", I thought I should have described my objections in my OP.

Mainly, the fact that I can't search within my feeds; I do this a lot. I know they said it's "coming soon," but in the meantime I am still having to pull up Google Reader all the time to search.

As a minor annoyance, I don't like how when I look at All Feeds, the display takes up my full screen but when I click in the left-hand pane to select an individual feed, Feedly then narrows the display by several inches. It's like the whole thing gets sucked in smaller. I don't know that I can adequately describe it. It's merely a form issue, not function.

Use Old Reader. It's got a very similar look.

Thanks -- hadn't hear of it but will check it out. I had been waiting for Digg to get its reader ready, but I felt like time was running out. But maybe I should see if they finished building theirs yet.

It took me a little while but I'm really loving feedly.

I like newsblur. I sift through a ton of RSS feeds daily for work, so I write off the cost of the premium version -- but you can get it for free, too.

I don't use search on the feeds, though, so I don't know if it has that feature.

I think I'm going with bloglovin, but I like Old Reader too. I subscribed through feedly too, but I really haven't given it much of a chance.
