Fwd: Go Read: Open-Source Google Reader Clone - Matt Jibson's Blog

So google reader is going away Monday.  When announced a while back, several blogs posted alternatives, mainly Feedly but several others, one even a review each week.  If you do use reader, go immediately to the export function and save your feeds file!

This is quite a tribute to JS's maturity!  The article discusses use of Angular and the pain that data formats pose, and apparently it is deployed on google's app-engine.  Ironic!  I had assumed AE had died.  But great that a clever programmer just stuffed reader back onto google's cloud!

Feedly is doing an excellent job of fulfilling all my Reader-related needs. Strongly recommended.
