I decided to try Feeddler with Bazquz.com. It is extremely fast and seems very reliable after a couple of weeks of use. It also has more of the features of Google Reader than any other of the new services I've tried. There is starring and tagging, etc.
It is not free but seems very good compared to theOldreader and feedHQ. The browser interface is not inaccessible but not perfect either. Still, that's not the main method I use to access things so it doesn't worry me too much. I will evaluate the site again before my trial expires and I decide to pay. Still, I think this may be the one I go with. I have pretty much stopped using Lire at this point. Although I love its frequent updates, it seems there is always something. I was one of those affected by the bug that caused old articles to show and this persisted for a few days causing me a lot of frustration. I will keep Lire and may still use it. But for what I want, Feeddler is really the best thing for me right now. I may also try inoreader since it is available now. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 6:23 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Once again, on the hutn for a cross platform rss reader Yeah, I was surprised to hear TheOldReader changed their tune. Based on their blog article where they announced they'd be going private, they were pretty adamant that they weren't looking for money, resources or help. They just wanted a good news reading experience and their lives back. As late as yesterday, I was still getting 503 errors when trying to use TheOldReader with Feeddler, and I've had lots of problems the last two or three weeks getting updates and having my information synced. I am trying inoreader now, and it seems to be a lot faster and more reliable when using it with Feeddler. The web interface seems usable with Orca and Firefox and Chrome with ChromeVox, but I'm still evaluating it.
