Digg’s Google Reader replacement to launch next week, available to all by June 26

A beta version of news-curation service Digg’s long-awaited RSS reader is scheduled to arrive next week. It’s called Digg Reader and will be available to everybody by June 26.



For many, this will replace the nearly retired Google Reader. Google Reader was really good at collecting RSS feeds of all your favorite news sites and blog posts as they were published throughout the day.

Digg Reader would aim to provide all the same RSS aggregation while keeping the experience simple, quick, and easy to navigate.

The Digg expects the service to be a free product while remaining all of the features it is releasing now as part of this free beta.

Digg showed off a web version of Digg Reader along with screenshots of an iOS app. In near future, the company will also release an Android app, as well as integration with third-party services like Buffer, Evernote and IFTTT. Digg Reader will get search and notifications in one of its next updates.

Digg says it plans to add tools to “sort, filter and rank your reading lists and feeds, based on your networks, interests, likes, and so on.”
