knowledge worker tip: adding a Google Group to #Feedly using one of its RSS feeds
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15
Today I learned that each Google Group has RSS and ATOM feeds. That allows you to add them to Feedly (a great online RSS reader that won a lot of market share when Google Reader got ditched).
This is how you do it (I’m using the Spring4D group as an example).
- Go to the group page https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spring4d
- On the right side, click on “About” which brings you to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/spring4d
- Copy any of the RSS or ATOM links and add it to Feedly.

tried, (https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/XXXXXXX/msgs/rss.xml?num=15) but Feedly says “Sorry. No feed found. Please try searching for another url, title or #topic.”

Too bad; here it worked. Not sure if it will work again, but I have the most important stuff as feeds now.
Sorry (:

Please elaborate, as I don’t understand what you mean.

In the original post it states bring up the google group. And on the right hand side click on “About” …then copy ….but I’ve brought up the group and can’t find “about” on any link . No worries but I have no idea how to read my google groups via Feedly and I think it would be better that’s all ! Thanks for any help / advice you can offer .

Oh, you are talking about Google Groups, not G+ communities… I was looking for the About button in the latter…

Haven’t figured that one out yet. Will blog if I do. Let me know if/when you figure it out (:
