- CrunchiesNovember 20

Hello. TechCrunch is organizing an event called the Crunchies. We have decided to throw our hat in and participate in the “Best Bootstrap Startup” and the “Best Design” categories.
If you enjoy feedly and have 30 secondes, you can help by nominating feedly: Best Bootstrap Startup and Best Design
If you really like feedly, you can do it once a day every day between now and Dec 10th.
It is the first time we are doing something like this so I am not sure how far we will get but “you have to start somewhere”.
Thank you!

In preparation of feedly “iteration 2″ - which we will be released in December, we are focusing on removing as many quirks and improving stability and performance. Part of the results of this effort are included in patch 1.2.90.
Change Log
Optimized the “greatest” page both in terms of load time (30% faster) as well as the relevance of the initial set of recommendations.
Fixed set of issues related to the unread count getting out of sync if you have very few unread articles in our feedly.
Reduced memory footprint by 25% and network bandwidth by 35%.
See getsatisfaction for the list of other issues addressed.
(*many* thanks to Phillip Johnson and Orjan Lundberg for their contribution!)

We just pushed out 1.2.91 and 1.2.92 to address a regression and a hickup in the handshake between feedly and Google Auth which resulted in a feedly unavailable message. Sorry for the inconvenience.

After five month of listening, fire-fighting, iterating, the feedly stats are finally trending in the right direction. This feels really good. Special thanks to all the beta users who patiently provided us bug reports, feedback and suggestions and encouraged us during the process. Have a great week end!
- Renaming “recommend” to “share”. What do you think?November 4
-
Quick poll: as part of our clean up process, we have been walking through the stream of feedback we have been receiving on twitter and get satisfaction during the last 4 months. One open issue/snake is the confusion between “feedly recommend” and “google reader share”. One way to address this issue is to rename “feedly recommend” into “feedly share”. The benefits are 1) we leverage the mindshare built by google reader, 2) share takes less space than recommend in the UI (specially in the coming sidebar). The downside is that it will be a little less intuitive for first time, non-google reader users (which is our ultimate target audience - hopefully one day!). I am thinking that we should try the rename and listen to what people say. What do you think? If you have a strong suggestion one way or the other, please leave a comments or shout @feedly on twitter.
Update: Thanks for the feedback both here and an twitter. We decided to experient with the change as part of patch 1.2.68. We will listen to what people say and what types of questions new users ask and report back if we learn anything interesting.
