Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

There are no alternatives!
Nah, just kidding. But I get why they want to consolidate. How much penetration does RSS have into non-tech savvy users? I did get someone email me telling my provocateuse RSS was down, but I'm filing them as passive aggressive, since it's not down--I just haven't updated in a millenium. I hope they appreciated the one new record after I responded.
I should check web logs, though.
Oh no! I love google reader, and don't want to explore alternatives! (But what are they? )
But what are they?
And can I get to them through our firewalls?
Oh crapity.
Joining the chorus of woe. I don't want to have to migrate my feeds or whatever, though presumably someone will make that easy, right?
I am sort of still annoyed about migrating from bloglines!
Some people on Twitter are claiming that Twitter killed Google Reader, which I don't really get. It doesn't work the same at ALL.
WTF????
Personally I think Google killed Reader with their crappy redesign, which is when I pretty much stopped using it. I picked the blogs I liked most and get them via email now. Which is good for book/film reviews, but I'd rather a reader option for everything else.
I've heard people get blogs via Twitter but I've never understood how. I assume some app I don't use.
