Looks like the only good replacement for Google Reader, Feedly is under severe DDOS attack by the hackers. The company announced on their Twitter account that the attack has been happening for three days straight but they are trying hard to bring the site back alive. Obviously.
Though our team at Skcript did not face the outage, looks like some of the users across the world are facing it. Feedly did not confirm what was going wrong until today.
Feedly is currently being targeted by a third round of DDoS attacks. We are working on it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Right now, this is all that we have. But we will let you know when the service is back up on its feet. Fully operational.

Feedly was just another RSS feed reader that was quite popular among people who consume news online. It was when Google brutally killed Google Reader that Feedly was pushed up to the top as the best RSS aggregator on the internet. The service was unable to handle over 500,000 signups within just two days after Google Readers’ murder. Today, it is considered to be the most widely used RSS aggregator with APIs that lets developers take advantage of.Photo by Gabriele Barni
