feedly + Google Now: Your most important stories, when you want them

@feedly2015-08-05T19:17:34+00:00

Feedly and Google have been collaborating on integrating feedly into Google Now so that your most important stories surface in your Google Now stream. We recently rolled out this feature in beta and are seeing a high 14% tap-through rate with the feedly cards. We are excited to announce that the feature is now being rolled out to everyone.

Your important stories come to you

We believe reading sparks magic moments when ideas, knowledge, and creativity seamlessly come together. It’s the core reason why we work so hard to make feedly the most efficient way to personalize and read the content that’s important to you.

We spend a lot of time talking to our users, and we know that most of you weave what you read into your everyday life—to get better at what you do, to keep you ahead of what’s going on, to stay inspired, to learn new things, and be productive. We know that the ability to personalize this experience—when and how you get your news—and to integrate it with other services you use is just as important.

Google Now allows you to easily access specific information in the time and place that it’s most useful to you. As we keep expanding the number of integrations available to feedly users, Google Now seemed like a fitting service for our users, so that you can easily have the stories you need the most come to you, without you having to look for it yourself.

With feedly Now cards, feedly will find the trending stories in the publications you follow and surface them to you throughout the day through Google Now. And you can personalize this experience even more: If you have favorite publications or blogs that you’d love to see in Google Now, you can tell us to follow these stories more closely by marking those sources as must-read in your feedly.

For instance, if you are a PR manager in tech, you can mark the top-tier tech blogs as “must read,” so that breaking stories automagically come to you. Or if you are a physician following the latest in, say, pediatrics or infectious diseases, you can mark your favorite journals as must-read, so that the big stories from these favorite sources surface in your Google Now stream.

Turn it on!

To start seeing feedly Now cards, please make sure you have the latest Google app and feedly app installed on your Android device and are logged into feedly.com. Simply tap the blue Google app icon to see your Now cards. You’re good to go!

(You can also opt out by clicking the settings icon next to the feedly Now card in the Google Now app. Go here to learn more about turning off Google Now cards.)

Open Design Contest / Win feedly Pro lifetime

We would love to hear from the feedly community about how we could improve the personalization engine powering this feature and give you more control over which stories should be surfaced in Google Now. Please leave some suggestions by commenting on this blog post, and we’ll pick two of our favorite suggestions, implement them, and offer a lifetime feedly Pro subscription to the lucky people who suggested them!

We’ll use all of your feedback, so that we can iterate quickly on the next version of feedly Now cards, which we plan to push soon.

Enjoy!
David and Noelle

[Update: Wow! Lots of interesting comments! Thank you! We will be reviewing them in detail next Tuesday and announce the winners on Wednesday, August 12th]

The right login

@feedly2014-11-29T15:51:53+00:00

The feedly app allows you to login to your feedly using a Google, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Microsoft or Feedly login. If you land into a feedly and do not see your feeds and collections, it is likely that you used a different login. The solution to this is to log out and log back in using your initial feedly login. Here are some tips to help you do this:

Tip #1: Who I am logged in as?
At the bottom of the left selector, you will find information about who you are currently logged in as. Please make sure that the email/id and service you are currently logged in as is the same as the email/service you used to sign up initially to feedly.

Tip #2: “I don’t remember using a social login!”
If you are a long time feedly user and do not remember which login you used to create your feedly account, you most likely used the Google login – we only supported Google at inception. If you migrated during the retirement of Google Reader, try to use the same Google email as you used for Google reader.

Tip #3: Handling multiple Google logins
Google has a feature – annoying bug – where it will try to automatically log you to the account you use on Google.com. If you use a different Google login for feedly and for google.com or use multiple google.com logins, please double check that you are logged in with the correct account.
To select which account you are logging in from, go to Google.com and in the upper right corner, click on your picture or avatar, underneath you will see the list of Google Accounts you are currently signed into. If you don’t see the account you normally log in from, you can add it from there.
Next, when you log out of feedly and log back in, you will have the option to pick the account you want to use.

Tip #4: Attaching multiple logins to the same feedly account
If you have created multiple logins before and you don’t know which one you should use, have a look here: http://feedly.com/i/logins

Tip #5: Erasing your feedly account
The feedly erase page allows you to completely delete your feedly account and all your personal information from the feedly system. Please keep in mind that this operation can not be undone.

If you tried all these steps and are not able to login to your feedly or are not seeing your feed list after logging it, please contact Pro support if you are a pro user or ask a question on the Open feedly community.

Happy reading

Collection sharing: A new way to share your favorite sites

@feedly2014-10-03T22:30:16+00:00

Today we’re introducing a new feature called collection sharing, which enables you to easily share the sites you read with others.

Over the years, feedly users have curated millions amazing collections of the best sites to read on a myriad of topics, from photography to fashion, travel to home improvement, politics to finance and everything in between. Shared collections will unlock the incredible wealth of knowledge that has been created within those feedly reading lists.

Though feedly will always remain a reader app at its core, collection sharing is part of our larger vision to make reading more collaborative and create a platform for knowledge sharing within feedly. Thousands of users have told us over the past year that having better ways to share would help them at work and at school. In fact, one of the main takeaways from a survey we ran last year about this topic was that feedly readers are enthusiastic about sharing and want more ways to share what they read with friends and co-workers.

We’re building a community of passionate readers and we’ll be inviting users who are excited to share the sites they read and represent the breadth of knowledge available in feedly.

Our plan is to open collection sharing to everyone over the next few months, starting with feedly Pro users, but you can apply now to get early access and view collections from your peers.

Explore collections and apply for access

Frequently Asked Questions

Does feedly Mini work on every site?

feedly Mini should show up on most of the sites you browse allowing you to share, save or subscribe to new content — you can even save articles from sites you’re not already subscribed to. However, feedly Mini has a blacklist of sites where it shouldn’t appear, so you can specify sites on which you don’t want feedly Mini to appear (see Options to edit the blacklist). Feedly Mini will also not appear on sites that use HTTPS (SSL).

Can I disable feedly Mini?

Yes. Click on the feedly mini icon, select the gear option and you will find a checkbox that let’s enable/disable feedly Mini.

Will feedly Mini be available on Firefox or Safari?

feedly Mini is currently available only as an extension for the Chrome web browser. We’re evaluating which other browsers we should support in future releases. Please let us know in the comments below what browsers you use.

Does feedly Mini collect any information about my browsing history?

No. We value your privacy and will not collect any information about the sites you browse while feedly Mini is active.

Why doesn’t feedly Mini work on HTTPS pages?

We are just being extra cautious: we do not want to interfere with HTTPS pages and we do not want users to grant us access to HTTPS pages.
