While there might be other, and newer ways to categorize content, one way is to create a Facebook Page to post your own “news” to for a specific niche. Creating Twitter lists and Google+ circles helps “categorize” the content.Īlso, Facebook is another way to keep track of “news” in a given industry.
#Google feed reader plus
Well, in that case, following specific companies in the industry on Twitter and Google Plus can keep the journalist abreast on the latest news. Well, to answer that it really depends on what the feeds were used for in the first place.Ī journalist or web site owner, for example, may aggregate a bunch of content in a particular niche, say… “Internet News,” so that they can report on the news and write articles based on it. Now with Google Reader gone, how can a person keep track of their feeds? It’s just convenient really, and the layout is typical and user friendly. Being a Google product, if I’m logged into my Google Account (Gmail, G+, AdSense, AdWords, Alerts, etc), I’m logged into my Reader account as well. I personally liked it because it’s simple to use, and it’s a Google product.
Google Reader was a great way to pull several feeds together and categorize them and mash them up any way that you see fit. Either way, as new content is added to the site, the category, the search results, the whatever, subscribers of the feed can see the content in their reader. The “feed” is automatically updated, or even “dynamically” updated when referenced. Email alerts can be setup (often based on feeds, incidentally, if they are done in an automated way), but a popular way is to pull the feed into a personal reader. Now, rather than visiting the site every day, you want a simple way of knowing when new content is published. Perhaps you like a particular author on the site, or a specific category, or you use a particular search phrase on the site regularly, or maybe you like all of the content on the site.
It could be a blog, but doesn’t have to be. To put it in sample context, consider this. To understand the value of a reader, you must first understand RSS. ~ Urs Hölzle, SVP Technical Infrastructure and Google Fellow What is the value of an RSS reader anyway? Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.” So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined.
“We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. “Google Reader will not be available after July 1, 2013” says the popup message when jumping into Google reader today (March 15th).Īccording to the blog post, published on the 13th of March: Along with the BlackBerry Google Voice app, Google Building Maker, Snapseed Desktop, Google Cloud Connect, and others, Google Reader is being swept away (assuming the various petitions – 1, 2, and 3 – in place don’t stop it) in Google’s spring clean up.
