RSS Competition

The Google Reader’s discontinuation for millions of its RSS users has spurred for more news consumption. This is a clear result of companies who now can take better advantage of market share. Many new app contenders have sprung up within the RSS reader market. Main app competitors in the RSS reader market include rivals such as AOL Reader, gReader and Feedly. Digg enters the market just in time after the closure of Google Reader.

There is opportunity for RSS to evolve. Digg’s Android and apps were developed to replace Google Reader. The company has worked to build relevant API features and enforce social networking with its apps. Digg has been receiving great reviews. For RSS app developers, the outlook for new RSS app development is in demand.

All of Digg’s favorite features are available in the new Android App. Digg Reader, Digg.com homepage stories and social media integration. Digg stories and the RSS reader are both combined together with the Android App. Updates are expected to be released in the upcoming months. There are already plenty of alternative Android apps available in this market. It is great to see more traction with companies such as Digg within the RSS space. The company is bringing even more competition to the RSS reader market for Android and Digg is here to stay!
