Feedly Does More Than RSS

Since I moved my "stuff" from Google Reader to Feedly, I have been discovering more and more about some of the great features that Feedly offers, that Google Reader did not.  I had found in the past while using Google Reader that there were some sites offering updates and news that Google Reader could not recognize as appropriate RSS feed, and so did not display in my Reader.  So, I had to resort to accepting email notifications of any updates or news from those sites, which is not, I find, a very efficient way of managing content and data, especially with updates and news.

Here is an example if that sounds a bit confusing.  I like receiving notifications when ever there are new videos uploaded to certain YouTube channels I follow - like Edutopia, Geogebra, SMART Technologies, etc.  However, receiving notifications through email just becomes another task in order to keep my inbox clear; or the emails sit in a folder filling up my space.

Now, I send all of my YouTube feed updates to Feedly.  Feedly is much more friendly when collecting content from most websites.  Much more that Google Reader was.
