Odd, Chrome 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Fedora FC27 went
to https://feedly.com/i/welcome from www.feedly.com
I don't like it, but it does seem to work.

Hi Evan,
granted I prefer my phones to be as dumb as possible, I do not own a
smart phone for many reasons.
I do however as a reporter prefer to draw from as many diverse news
sources as I can, articles not podcasts.
My efforts to visit feedly,
www.feedly.com/
produce a failure to load error, regardless of browser I try.
Am I unlikely to experience anything productive here if only using a
desktop?
Must you use their software to reach the news content?

Hi all.
I consume a lot of news and podcasts on both mobile and desktops.
I have found Feedly to be a great resource at aggregation of RSS
feeds and
other sources. Its Android app is good if not spectacular and my podcast
player can import directly from it.
There is a free account that will be enough for many, but I upgraded
to the
paid one. Be patient and eventually you will encounter a sale or
promo that
lowers the cost, but even at full price I find it good value. (These
days I
am, when I can, choosing to pay for my apps and services rather than
depend
on data-mining to give me free stuff, but that's a different story)
If your news needs are limited you could get by on the CBC, BBC or CNN
apps, but they don't offer enough for me. Google News has been
replaced by
a news component of its omnibus Google Now service on Android, but I
like
neither its news selections nor its privacy concerns. One nice apps
with a
daily summary of the world's significant events is Espresso by The
Economist.

Hi folks,
Late new year wishes all around.
I ask the question because I believe? someone posted a list of service
alternatives a while back.
Up until late December I was using theoldgnews.com
Apparently google discovered the service though.
Anyone know of a comparative alternative?
Cheers,
Kare
