Last month I wrote about how Google Reader changed how I consume information again. Prior to that announcement I had been using Feedly solely – as a “front end” to Google Reader. Feedly has once again been added into my daily rotation – because they have integrated the friends and comments features of Google Reader. This has made for a FriendFeed-like experience.
If you are not familiar with Feedly – it is a Firefox extension that acts as an interface with Google Reader.
Feedly weaves the content of your favorite sites and services into a magazine-like start page.
I like Feedly because it gives a sense of organization to an otherwise unwieldy stream of information that is Google Reader. If you are wondering why the addition of Friends and Comments is important, read this Google Reader post. Basically the friends feature creates a human powered filter for me to consume information.
Google Reader has made tremendous progress on the social aspects over the last months: profile, user search, asymmetric follow, comments, friends and comments view. We wanted to make sure that people who use feedly as a Google Reader client were able to take advantage of all these new features. As part of feedly 2.x.009, we are pushing out a new friends/comments page.
