Here is how they are innocuously described in Wikipedia: The underlying evil, and this IS evil, is that Feedly now has only what is called a “social login” meaning you cannot even have an account unless you login via a social media account like Twitter, Facebook, or Google+. And to add insult to injury, Feedly has ripped me off by virtue of my having paid for a year of a plan when I haven’t gotten a year of service. This is a huge loss it will take me hours when I don’t have hours to reconstruct my RSS reader.

And I’ve tried the usual password retrieval routes. The tech experts I conferred with find this outcome to be on the far tail end of bad user outcomes, as in there is no way this should happen and therefore no reason for me to have anticipated it and taken preventive measures.Īnd the outcome is serious for a big information consumer like me. I deleted all my cookies from Firefox, the only browser I had used for accessing Feedly, around midnight. I later upgraded to Feedly Pro, which meant I paid a fee, so that I could search articles. I finally settled on Feedly as the better, at least at that point in time. I duly exported my feeds to Digg and Feedly, two of the most promising alternatives. I was very unhappy when Google killed Google Reader in July 2013. Like many who consume a lot of information, I depend on an RSS reader to scan a lot of sites and keep on top of news. And as you’ll see below, I’ve already stepped on one mine.* And to calibrate how heinous the underlying situation is, Lambert, who has 20 years of experience as a computer professional, calls my current mess the technology equivalent of being shoved into a minefield without any signs. Your humble blogger is a beached whale as a result of the steady march of police state practices on the Internet.
