Many users were surprised and angered by the discontinuation of Google Reader. However, a replacement is available in the form of Tiny Tiny RSS, which you can use to read newsfeed subscriptions on all your client devices, either via a web interface or an Android app.
Syndicated content is one of the most important achievements of Web 2.0. Many news sites and blogs make their news available on a home page as well as through special newsfeed formats like RSS or Atom. These formats not only contain the news itself but also use XML tags to supply certain data about the news, such as title, author, and language of the text. This tagging makes the automated processing of news much easier – but, you do need a feed reader. With this type of program, you can subscribe to feeds from your favorite news sites, and the software will download the latest articles at regular intervals. You can then mark, sort, archive, and even delete these feeds as desired.
When you install only a local version of the feed reader software on the desktop, you run into a problem once multiple devices are used. At that point, it becomes necessary to synchronize diverse data constantly among the devices, particularly the feed subscriptions. Starting in 2005, Google offered its own reader as a terrific alternative. It ran inside a browser window, making it possible to access various feeds and their accompanying preference settings from any device. Additionally, the barriers to adoption were low; a Google account was sufficient to get started. However, in 2013, the search engine giant withdrew Google Reader as part of streamlining its product portfolio.
Of course, now several alternative readers offer similar functionality. One example is the web service Feedly (Figure 1), but, here again you run the same risk as with Google Reader: The provider [1] might terminate its service.
