Of course, I’ve been on a quest for the Google Reader alternative<\/a>. \u00a0Of course, I found plenty. \u00a0And, of course, none of them are exactly the same. \u00a0I’ve decided to stick with Bazqux<\/a>, and I’ve paid my yearly subscription fee a few month ago.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth mentioning that a lot of work went into many of the alternatives over the last months, as more and more people started looking for the new RSS home. \u00a0Some of that work was quite noticeable. \u00a0For example,\u00a0Feedly changed in the last 100 days<\/a>\u00a0so much that I had to re-evaluate it completely. \u00a0And, also, new services were introduced – such as Digg Reader<\/a>.<\/p>\n
