Hi, all,

I guess my head has been in the sand…. I just found out from Author Media that Google is shutting down Google Reader as of this Monday, July 1.

If you subscribe to this and/or other blogs via Google Reader, you’ll need to switch to another reader. I picked “Feedly,” told it I wanted to import my Google Reader settings, and was done in, like, 5 seconds.

Below is a list of 10 alternatives to Google Reader, provided by Shaney over at Author Media. Look them up, check them out, pick one and move your subscriptions there. Do it before Monday. Better yet, do it right now, before you forget. I included the link to Feedly, which is the one I chose. Click here for Shaney’s post with all the links.

Feedly
Flipboard
Google Currents
NetVibes
NewsBlur
Pulse
Reeder
Taptu
The Old Reader
Zite

Thanks for making the switch and taking me with you!
Jan
