Ever since google axed their Reader product my news consumption hasn’t been the same. I tried out a few at the time and settled on theoldreader.com but I’ve come to realise that I wasn’t using it like I wanted to – google reader used to be the first thing I loaded whereas theoldreader was loaded only once a week.

I’ve made a switch to feedly to see how that goes instead – first impressions are promising – time will tell.

At the same time I tried out instapaper as I saw that feedly could add articles to that service – my trial was short and the account is now cancelled. I like the idea … but the first few articles I saved all had important images or videos embedded, not something that instapaper is targetting. I’ve resolved to use the feedly “save for later” feature and see how that goes.
