Now That Google Reader and Friend Connect are Going

Well, we're down to the final days before Google Reader is officially kaput. I've been using Feedly for the past week or so, and while I think I still like the Google Reader layout better, Feedly is remarkably organizer friendly. I've also heard some good things about BlogLovin, but haven't found it quite as user friendly.

I've also heard rumors that Friend Connect is leaving, which makes me very sad. No longer can we look at the lovely faces of our blog subscribers. No longer do I get to have a little party at every plus one. I suppose some will say its a good thing, and maybe serves to neutralize blogs a little bit, but I will miss it.

So, in lieu of all that, let's not loose touch okay? I've got Feedly and Bloglovin buttons over here -----------> for your convenience. If you're not an RSS reader or have decided to let it drop with the demise of Google Reader you can also keep updated via the Facebook Page. Or Twitter or Pinterest or Tumblr. I'm a little obsessed :) For reals though, if you use any of those sites I do try and post blog post links on all of them as well as other awesome stuff I find around the interwebz. There are some seriously amazing/useful/entertaining/helpful/awe-inspiring things out there.

With that, we'll say goodbye to Google Reader and see what happens! I've asked this before, but it bears asking again, how are you going to follow bloggers/writers now that Google Reader is going?
