[Bradford] Google Reader replacements?

[Brian A]

Now I find all this interesting. It would be good to have people give a
talk, at the meeting, about how they use certain web sites/applications.
Then there's IfTT (if this then that) and another similar site that I can't
remember the name of.
For my part I can contribute only 2 things to the pot. Firstly I use a
button on Firefox for any site I want to read later - or better still have
it read out for me. I pick this up on Android  InstaFetch and I use an
alternative voice TTS.
Secondly, I have, at last, got a 3G dongle working on voice with my
Raspberry Pi PBX. So now I can make and receive calls with the dongle, and,
of course, transfer calls to a foreign mobile for when I am out of the
country.
