RSS feed reader blues? Get your feed in Microsoft Outlook and Office 365

Stressed businessmanICYMI, Google Reader, Google Voice App for Blackberry, Google Cloud Connect, and Snapseed Desktop are shutting down. Hilarity ensued on the Internet with the melt down on social media over the change. As Danny Sullivan noted here, "Google should have done better by Google Reader & Google users than to bury its closure in a "spring cleaning" post." 

All the talk about RSS Readers reminded me of how important it is to listen and respond (this from 2011 via TechCrunch).

But I digress.

If you're impacted by this announcement, have no fear: there are options, many great options.

First off, Good advice from Sara Hevans (@prsarahevans) on how to backup your Google Reader account https://aol.it/Wq3UkJ

Once you've backed up, you'll need a new reader.

With all these options, you may already have an option on your desktop: you can also use Outlook in Microsoft Office to subscribe to an RSS feed as noted here. 

So if you're looking for RSS subscription and management? our own Office 365 Home Premium has that: https://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/cc511379.aspx
