Last week, Digg revealed plans<\/a> to build a replacement app for Google’s soon-to-be-defunct Reader and compete with other services that have suddenly become popular, like Feedly and The Old Reader<\/a>. While I wait to someday have my OPML file uploaded to The Old Reader (currently number 3,590 in the queue), I am trying out some other alternatives — I really liked Feedspot, but updating seems spotty.<\/p>\n In a blog post<\/a>, Digg says “Google did a lot of things right with its Reader, but based on what we\u2019re hearing from users, there is room for meaningful improvement. We want to build a product that\u2019s clean and flexible, that bends easily and intuitively to the needs of different users. We want to experiment with and add value to the sources of information that are increasingly important, but difficult to surface and organize in most reader applications \u2014 like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit, LinkedIn, or Hacker News. We likely won\u2019t get everything we want into v1, but we believe it\u2019s worth exploring”.<\/p>\n Sounds good so far, but we will need to wait for an\u00a0actual\u00a0app before getting too excited. The company is continuing to gather suggestions from Reader refugees as it builds the app. In fact, it has set up a mailing list for news<\/a> on the progress and it is complete with a Reader shutdown clock.<\/p>\n Last week, Digg revealed plans to build a replacement app for Google’s soon-to-be-defunct Reader and compete with other services that have suddenly become popular, like Feedly and The Old Reader.
