I currently subscribe to hundreds of blogs, and daily I sift through thousands of articles via my feed reader, Google News, or various other trips down the rabbit hole. As a somewhat professional blogger and writer, I depend on Google Reader’s ability to sort RSS feeds and show me the newest, the hottest, and the best in news on technology, weirdness, or just whatever happens to strike my fancy. It’s very important to me. Google Reader has been incredible for me and my various businesses, and I couldn’t do this without it.
More importantly, as I scour the web from multiple locations, I depended heavily on Google Reader’s ability to make notes. I added the Note In Reader bookmarklet to every toolbar on every browser I use regularly, and yet now, with the Google Reader redesign for Google Plus and Google removing the social features from their product, the Note In Reader bookmarklet is disabled and all my notes are just plain gone.
It goes without saying that I’m not terribly pleased by this development, and I’m now looking for a Google Reader replacement. I’ve been using Google Bookmark, but I know that may go away too, so it’s time to find something else. Do you have a good feed reader/online note-taking app you can recommend? I could use it.
