Google announced this week it is discontinuing its RSS reader service on July 1st. I wonder if this will turn out to be a somewhat tone deaf decision on their part. In general it seems like Google likes any service they can provide that gets me to login to their system. The message here seems [...]

Readers here have provided great ideas and tips along the way, so be sure to search or read through the archives and add to the comments.
