Farewell, Google Reader

We're only days away from Google Reader's official retirement. I've used this platform for years — I check it on my phone when I get up the morning, when I'm at home relaxing, mobile, laptop, you name it. Years.

Regardless of my stubbornness to switch platforms, I finally made the jump today. Talk about cutting it close. I landed on Feedly for my personal reading. It automatically imported all of my Google Reader info, has a great mobile app, and integrates with the Sprout Social software I use.

But if you're not ready to make the jump to Feedly, here are a few ways you can keep up with Mini Penny Blog once Reader is gone for good:



Mini Penny on Bloglovin' - Bloglovin' is awesome. It has a familiar layout, makes it easy to import your Google Reader subscriptions and even claim your own blog.


Google Current - You can find Mini Penny by simply searching MiniPennyBlog.com and tapping 'Add.' It's not a bad platform, but the downside is that it's mobile only.


Follow Me on Twitter - I recently consolidated my Twitter accounts to one handle: @jessiebarber. I normally tweet about all of my blog posts, so it works well if you don't mind some random updates about watermelon Oreos or Arrested Development quotes.
