Mini Blog: Free News Feed Reader

Feedly is an RSS news reader available on the internet, android phones, and tablets. Instead of going to multiple websites to gather your news, you just visit Feedly. It is integrated with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ (kind of...you habve to go through one thing to the other to get them) and Evernote. There is no search or analytic option. I don't really like Feedly, so I have found an alternative news feed reader. And that alternative issssss........



Netvibes! There is a free version and a paid version, as with most software these days. With the free version, you can do all things you could with Feedly, as in subscribing to different news generators, and more. You can create your own dashboard on the site, which you can arrange to your own liking as I have done below.


Contrasting Feedly, there is search capability and an analyzing option. Along with these features, you can also add your email, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ (in an easier fashion than on Feedly) onto your dashboard. You can also add a multitude of other widgets to the dashboard, like weather for instance, so you can do more while catching up on the news. It also uses more pictures and features from the news websites than Feedly does, creating something better to look at.

So Netvibes over Feedly in my book.
