Popular RSS Feed Reader The Old Reader now has a premium option. “The Old Reader Premium will cost $3 per month or $30 per year, although there is a two-week promotional price (up to 5,000 accounts) of $2 per month or $20 per year for a minimum of the next two years.” Apparently if you have over 100 feeds you have to get the premium subscription, which is good for up to 500 feeds. I have moved everything entirely to Digg Reader and I love it. NewsBlur probably would have been fine if I had had fewer feeds, but Digg handles my ridiculous number of feeds with absolute aplomb.

VentureBeat had an interesting story about Curious, an online teaching marketplace. Good morning, Internet…
