Feedly picks up over 500,000 Google Reader defectors

It looks like Feedly ‘s promises of a “seamless transition” worked. The newsfeed service recently reported that more than 500,000 Google Reader users have joined its ranks following the announcement that the popular aggregator will close this summer . It multiplied its bandwidth ten times over, added new servers to cope with the sudden influx and hopes to keep the service up as much as possible as more users pour in. In an effort to keep its new clientele happy, Feedly has promised to listen to suggestions and add new features on a weekly basis as well. But if it doesn’t, don’t worry; we suspect there’ll be many more alternatives pitching for your RSS feeds over the coming weeks.

Feedly promises ‘seamless’ transition after Google Reader to its own backend

If you (like many of us at Engadget) are in a state of shock facing the end of Google Reader this summer, there may be an easy replacement. RSS app/service Feedly posts on its blog that it has been anticipating the shutdown of Google’s service for some time, and invested in building its own backend. Dubbed “Normandy” it is intended to be a clone of the Google API running on Google’s own App Engine, set to swap in on July 1st when the service ends. Even better, in the comments Feedly states it will open the API for other 3rd party clients once everything is stable. the only bad news? If you’re considering jumping onboard you’re not the only one — Feedly’s servers are pretty crushed right now, so you know, just test the waters out some time in the next few months.
