As I move from Google Reader to Feedly, I’m stealing my friend Justin’s idea and will post for each blog that makes the cut.
There has never been a better time to clean up your RSS reading!
Since Google Reader is going Bye Bye Bye and I’ve got 4 months to move my RSS subscriptions, I thought I would take my time and move just one of my RSS feeds each day and share the site that I’m moving. If it looks interesting to you, why not subscribe? Just be sure not to use Google Reader!
Worst Previews
Worst Previews always has movie news before any other site. I wound up reading fewer movie news sites and even unsubscribing from a few because I found they were either referencing Worst Previews or just re-reporting what was already posted there! There’s barely any editorial POV, it’s mostly just movie news.
Speaking at the Inspire! social media event on June 10th in Canada.
Get your tickets early & save money.
