\"\"It\u2019s common knowledge that Google is closing its Google Reader service, and that July 1 deadline is creeping ever closer. Now is the perfect time to switch to an alternative service and become acclimatized to a slightly different way of working, and the good news is that you can make the switch in minutes without having to perform any convoluted tricks, thanks to Feedly.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to access Feedly — if you\u2019re on a desktop or laptop, you\u2019ll need to install the Feedly for Firefox, Chrome and Safari<\/a> plug-in, and if you\u2019ve an Android or iOS mobile, you\u2019ll want to install Feedly 15.0.1<\/a> instead (or in addition to) in order to access the service.<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s done, the hard part of migrating your feeds from Google Reader to Feedly is already over. It\u2019s a simple case of browsing to feedly.com in your desktop web browser or opening the mobile app and signing in with your Google account. From here Feedly will seamlessly transfer all your feeds — including their organizational structure — across to its service.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons Feedly does this so effortlessly is because until now it too relied on the Google Reader service, but with that on the way out it\u2019s moved quickly to set up its own backend so its seven million users — three million of which have switched since Google first announced it was dumping Google Reader — will enjoy top-notch RSS aggregation come Reader’s demise on July 1.<\/p>\n

To keep things as simple as possible, Feedly has introduced a new basic list view for your aggregated feeds, to closely match the basic, but simple, approach of Google Reader. You don\u2019t have to stick with that though, as it also provides three more enhanced views for browsing your folders, including one that provides a newspaper or magazine style multi-columned layout with photos, headlines and straplines.<\/p>\n

Navigation is simple via the pop-out list from the left-hand side of the screen, and the mobile and web versions are designed to work in a similar way to make it easy to use Feedly across all your devices — yes, updating your feeds on one updates them on all. The web add-ins also provide a small bookmarklet that shows up in the bottom right-hand corner of screens making it easy to add new feeds, plus share stories via social media and mark them for reading later via Feedly\u2019s own Saved for Later list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t plan to stick with Feedly, switching now is a good idea to give you more breathing space after Google Reader closes its doors, but we reckon you might find it difficult to tear yourself away once you\u2019ve worked out all its ins and outs.<\/p>\n

Both Feedly for Firefox, Chrome and Safari<\/a>, and Feedly 15.0.1<\/a> for iPad, iPhone and Android, are available now as a freeware downloads.<\/p>\n

No word yet as to the likely emergence of a Feedly add-on for Internet Explorer, one surprising omission on Feedly\u2019s part.<\/p>\n
