Readers and Writers Websites Wednesday
Got a lot of reading to do? Aware of the demise of Google Reader? Need a replacement - hopefully free?
Check out CNet's 5 Worthy Alternatives. For you RSS feed folks losing Google Reader you might find the answer here.
I've tried a couple of replacements since the announcement and have homed in on Feedly.
The good: Does everything Google Reader does/did and can be made to look much, um, prettier.
The bad: Doesn't do it quite the same way as Reader so I still get confused at times, especially with the on-again-off-again automatic marking of what you've read. (In other words, it's not so automatic.)

Oh, Google, why hast thou abandoned us?
