As most have you have probably read by now, Google is shutting down its popular feed reader Google Reader.
For those of us who consume updates from our favourite sites this was a really simple and unfussy tool and it is an annoyance to see it going. However, it is not the end of the world as there are endless alternatives out there. It is more about the short term pain of changing settings and setting up new workflows.
Rather than wait until July I’m starting to switch things over now.
As most others are doing, I’m ditching Google’s Feedburner, the usual mechanism for delivering RSS feeds from this site. If Reader is being chopped by Google then it is fair to assume Feedburner will be serving out its notice period soon also. So, I’m giving people enough notice from now before switching off the Feedburner feed and moving to just a new feed.
If you follow this site on RSS, you will need to subscribe to a new feed URL: https://visualisingdata.com/?feed=rss.
Whilst we’re here talking about ways to follow visualisingdata.com updates, here are the other channels through which I share updates:
