Picks of the Week: Feedly, Boom for Mac

John's Pick: Feedly

Recently Google announced an end to Google Reader, one of the most popular RSS readers out there. This has left a lot of people looking for a Google Reader replacement. One of the best, and most complete replacements out there is Feedly. Feedly has really stepped up to fill the void offering a service nearly identical to Google Reader. You can sort your feeds in several different ways including a list view. Feedly also has both an Android and iPad app, cloud syncing, and is integrated with other mobile applications. This makes it one of the replacements for Google Reader and should be looked at if you are looking for a new RSS reader.
