Feedly vs Digg Reader


Feedly is a news feeder reel that that is available for web browsers, mobile phones, and is even included on the cloud.  It combines any news feeds from other websites providing a variety of articles to read.  As Google Reader closed down, Feedly was one of the top options for users who need their daily dose of news.  You can integrate it into your web browsers as well as just using the web based site and it is now cloud-based.

Digg has been around for awhile now.  It has always been the site that is known for the most talked about stories, pictures, and video on the web.  They have started their own Digg Reader that works the same as Feedly combining all your interests of news and so on into one spot.  Both Feedly and Digg are quite simple to use with adding the news feeds of sites you enjoy the most at your fingertips.

I really like Feedly because of how much it loads faster compared to Digg.  Even in magazine style showing the pictures from the article load within a second.  Digg took a couple of seconds to load most of the time with just the title style. Feedly has different views of your news and I really like the magazine style rather than the titles showing only.  Digg only has two views which is titles and card view style.  Below is Feedly's different styles.


The thing that won me with Feedly is being an all-in-one reader for me. What I'm trying to say is, I really like how you can click on the link and it opens the article within the page.  Below you will see it National Geographic in magazine style too:


As for Digg, it opens up a new window once you click on the title.  The site itself is very simple and it does get right down to the point of reading your news overall for those who don't need anything fancy:
