Probably not new. But I just noticed.

Ya this is since nov end.. thanks giving time... But is that worth it? Not much offering with pro account...

 

[Sushubh]

I think the whole concept behind pro is to help support the service so that it does not die. Searching is quite helpful if you are a pro user.

So its more like donate so discount in donation does not sound right
Searching I miss that sometime since google reader but I used it just once in couple of month so not missing that much.

Well. What I meant to say was that right now Pro does not offer many features so a lot of people are supporting it because they are pissed off with the demise of Google Reader. They do not want that to happen to Feedly as well. I mean RSS Readers are already a disappearing breed with few people using them these days (likes of me) so it's not like feedly is going to get hundreds of thousands of paying customers. Also... Most of these users would be happy with basic functionality which cannot be charged for in the freemium model they have right now. You are very limited with options for paid features.So, the end result is that you do not end up paying for the 'cool' pro features because they are probably never going to exist. You are paying to ensure that the service stays alive if you are a RSS junkie

Yup Thats true...
I am also RSS junkie since 1st day of google reader with 100s of feeds. Thats the only source of my news since many years.
I also think after exit of google from RSS all reader will have tough time sustain their operation..
I started looking for alternate service too in case RSS goes down for good in couple of years.
1. Prismatic - getprismatic.com - just pick your interest and news will follow - con is no android app yet
2. Created twitter acct just for feeds and follow those sites on feeds - (not all sites have twitter handle and update it) using that twitter handle on apps like flipboard etc
what is your major source for news apart from RSS?

google+
twitter
facebook for stupid brands that are not active on either of these two.
check out siftlinks.com. you are going to love it.
i donate to siftlinks several times a year coz i do not want it to die. the owner runs it at a loss.
