Google Reader will be retired in July - what are the alternatives?

Google Reader will be retired on 1st July this year.

For those of you who have set up Google Reader to use feeds to keep up to date with database searches, blogs and news feeds the good news is there are a few alternatives.

The most popular of these alternatives, at the time of writing, is Feedly: http://www.feedly.com/

We like Feedly, it's incredibly easy to transfer your RSS feeds from Google Reader to Feedly. All we did was sign in to the Feedly app (available on Android and iOS) using our Google login details and Feedly did the rest - we were up and running in less than five minutes.

Feedly is also available on the web - when using Firefox or Chrome (but not Internet Explorer).

If you have any questions about this, or would like any help doing it, please let us know.
