Scribkin: Quick News from Around the Net

    Agreed. Fortunately I didn't see the friends added but it added a "Technology" category and a "Thinkers" category with 20 or so "recommended" feeds that were not my type of feeds. I wouldn't be so miffed if it had asked my permission first but I don't like it assuming it knows what I like.

    I'll not abandon Reader yet. Feedly is a bit sluggish and I can consume feed much more quickly via Reader. It would probably be great for someone who subscribes to 20 or 30 blogs but when you subscribe to 169 blogs I need to be able to sort and read quickly.

    I'll keep trying it but I've never been a big "homepage" guy....

    Feedly is ok. It added some tag categories to my Google Reader and I don't appreciate that at all. The homepage itself takes some getting used to especially if you subscribe to many feeds. It's a nifty idea though.

    I had the same problem! I thought I had messed something up. When I went to the friends pane, it added a TON of people, along with hundreds of subscriptions, one for each person. Annoying if you switch back to using greader.

    I tried Feedly, It had promise. However it added feeds to my Google Reader without my knowledge. FAIL

    Agreed. In fact, I think that will be the topic of my next blog post.
