Were you on twitter yesterday? Because twitter exploded. I'm hearing different ideas for replacements.

Article on replacements (reviews.cnet.com)

Mostly I'm hearing about feedly (www.feedly.com) which has an iPad app which would be interesting.

Yesterday most of the possible replacements seemed to be having server trouble with all the google reader refugees.

What I love about google reader is that since I use google mail, it is one click over. It isn't a separate log in and system.

Years ago I used bloglines which seems to be stupid and local focused now.

I tried last month to convince David to use an RSS feed, but no luck. For me it is essential. I read several blogs (librarian, management, knitting) that post erratically. I also use it for my webcomics. The reader knows how far "behind" I am on any given item without me guessing.

This bugs me a lot. Let me know what you think of the old reader. I may let the early adopter refugees test out the waters for the first week or two and see what the consensus seems to be.
