The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Why The Google Reader Shutdown Is A Huge Opportunity For Yahoo”.

Fei Deng says, “Google Reader shut down earlier this week, and in its wake, some RSS readers like Feedly are gaining many new users. But a huge opportunity remains—and Yahoo, of all places, has the key to unlock it. Yes, you heard me right: Yahoo, the company that acquired Tumblr for $1.1 billion, could be poised to leverage a vast new opportunity in online-media syndication.

Suppose that when you stumble upon an interesting blog post, you could click a “Follow on Yahoo” button, much the way you’d tweet a link or “Like” the post on Facebook. Clicking this “Follow on Yahoo” button would then allow you to follow the blog (or the author) via a personalized feed in a mobile Yahoo app or on the Yahoo homepage”.
