But once we were past the initial gnashing and wailing of teeth, we began to search for replacements.
And somethingthat just worked.
I’m afraid I’m rather picky about what web apps and software I will continue using.
A fast RSS reader, it operates on fast servers, and is completely reliable.
I just wish I knew for sure how to pronounce the really weird name.
The first thing I need to point out from the get-go is that BazQux isnot free.
But in my view, this is an insurance policy.
Free services have a nasty habit of shutting down suddenly.
But more on the payments later.
Let’s dive right in and take a look at what BazQux has to offer.
Once you start subscribing to feeds or importing OPML files, your screen will begin to fill up.
The feed count goes up to 500, and anything over that is displayed as 500+.
Simply add the URL of the page and you will get all the updates as they occur.
You don’t even need to have a Readability account first.
Mobile Access
You’re probably asking at this point about mobile access.
Well, no, not really.
On my iPhone, I useFeeddler, and on my iPad, I use the excellentMr Reader.
Then use this to sign in, via the mobile app.
Now, You Mentioned Something About…Paying?
The sad truth is that either you are the product, or you are the customer.
If you want to be the product, and switch from app to app constantly, then fine.
That’s up to you.
But the good news is that the cost is not prohibitive.
Considering the use I get out of BazQux every day, I am actually getting quite a bargain.
you could choose how much you want to pay, from three options.
Option 1 (stingy tightwad) is $9 a year.
If you go for the $19 reasonable option, that amounts to just over 5 cents a day.
I mean, come on, how can anyone argue about 5 cents a day?
