  • gathered from your folders in Google Reader.
  • The Wall can act as your social springboard to both shared items in Google Reader and Twitter updates.
  • Feedly has developed an extensive tie-in with Google Search and Google Reader on day one.
  • Searches for more frequent terms, like Apple and Yahoo!, had their expected 1000+ results,
  • in reverse chronological order.
  • The goal? To bring a new, graphical, view of feeds, via Google Reader, and add multiple social layers on top of what's already recognized as the world's most-popular online RSS engine.

  • should you get bogged down with too many updates, feeds are flagged warm or cool based on your reading behavior and how often you mark them as favorites.
  • If you're the type of RSS power user who wants to read hundreds of items through aggressive keyboard navigation, then Google Reader still can't be beat,
  • but if you want to pick the very best from the many feeds you have, share items with friends and find new sources for news, Feedly is a compelling option.
