The only issue with Reeder as the source for the OPML file is you lose all of your stars and read/unread information. Here’s hoping that comes soon! Cleaning House I removed the Reader account and added the Feedbin settings and everything burst to life! I also use it on the iPad and Mac but they’re not updated for Feedbin yet. Next, I opened Reeder on my iPhone and switched over from Google Reader to Feedbin. We’ll see what I do with it in the future! I love the open Sharing settings in Feedbin, but didn’t yet have a use for it. It’s also a good idea to set the “Hide tagged feeds” option so that it will match Google Reader, but I held off on this until cleaning house (see below). I use Google Reader stars to feed Buffer through IFTTT, and will swing this over to Feedbin in short order. First, under the main “Settings” pane, I enabled my “starred entry feed”. In order properly to replace Google Reader, I set a few more settings in Feedbin. Eventually it “took” with my whole set of hundreds of RSS feeds appearing by magic! Feedbin preserved my “tags” as well, essentially folders for organizing feeds a-la Gmail. Hello there, Feedbin!įeedbin failed to import the OPML file a few times, giving strange error messages, but I kept trying. I suppose that the Google Takeout file might have worked too, but I didn’t try it. Logging into Feedbin, I immediately headed to “Settings”, then “Import/Export”, and uploaded the OPML file from my Reeder email. After all, I’m going to use the heck out of Feedbin and I wanted to offer the developer some incentive to make it great! Swinging over to Feedbin, I signed up for an account, deciding to go ahead and pay $20 for a year of service (it’s also available at $2 per month). Cool! That’s what I was waiting for Reader to do! So I exported there, mailing the OPML immediately to myself. Reader took so long to export my account, that I began poking around in Reeder on my iPhone and found an option to export my subscriptions as an OPML file right there. Exporting with Google Takeout seemingly took forever!

But hey, I guess I’m an active user! After an hour or so, Takeout allowed me to download the file to my computer and I logged out of Reader one last time.

Takeout took quite a while to export my Reader account, and I was surprised to see it weigh in at over 32 MB. It’s nice that your entire Google Reader account can be exported with just a few clicks! Google’s “Takeout” service allows you to export your entire Reader account as OPML, and Feedbin accepts this same file! I clicked “Settings” in Reader, then “Import/Export” and “ Download your data through Takeout“. So you use Reeder to take Reader or Feedbin on the go, keeping up with RSS wherever you are! Moving to Feedbin Feedbin is like Google Reader: A web app and back end for reading RSS feeds.

It’s available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X.

It enables offline use and is much quicker than a web app like Reader or Feedbin.

Reeder is a great native mobile front-end app for Google Reader.

Reader is essentially a back-end database of subscribed feeds and read/unread post information, plus a front-end web application and API. But Reader doesn’t make any money for Google so they’re shutting it down on July 1, 2013.

Google Reader is the dominant application used to follow and read the RSS feeds that are everywhere on the Internet, from blogs to sites like twitter and foursquare.

I realize that most people may not be familiar with any of the applications I’m talking about here, so let’s get some definitions out of the way first. It’s a slick, snappy web application with a committed developer and, critically, support for Reeder, my favorite offline RSS reading application. But there’s no stopping the tide, so I’ve made the move to Feedbin as a Reader replacement as of today. I am an avid Google Reader user, so I’m thoroughly annoyed by Google’s decision to kill it as of July 1.
