Just a couple of weeks until Google Reader shuts down ...

... and I still have no idea what I'm going to do. Curl up in a fetal position?

Actually I have updated my sidebar and will use that, at least for a while.

Tom told me that Digg is working on a reader (and if you want to know down to the second when the Google Reader shuts down, it's a handy link).

    I'm toyin' with NewsBlur right now, Julie. It's pretty solid. How many feeds to you have in Reader currently?

      I had it fairly well paired down ... maybe 30 or 40? Although what do they mean by "pushing it to you." I like it to stay in the RSS feed, right where it is. Guess I need to try it out.

    I think that mostly means that you don't have to go and find it. It runs quite a bit like Reader, in my (limited) experience. But you could try out the free version and see what you think. (I think you can have 60-65 feeds for free. I'm...closer to 350. Heh.)

    I'm using Feedly, which works on all of the platforms I use (Windows, OSX, iOS). It started out a front end for Google Reader, but supposedly they are going to provide their own back end to replace Google, and make it available to other feed readers. (They might have already switched over, I dunno.) It works OK.

    Switched to Feedly, too. I liked that it was super-easy to tweet my favorite posts . . . until something broke and now that doesn't work anymore.

    I found it changed which blogs I read most frequently. I dunno why. Just a different layout that draws my eye differently.

    I'm using NetNewswire. It's a cromulent reader.

    I'm pleased with Feedly as well. Very easy to migrate my lists from Reader.

    I'm another one that has switched to feedly. There are a few quirks that are annoying, but for the most part it is working fine for me.

    I'm also using Feedly. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to skip past a feed, rather than scrolling through the whole thing (some can be pretty long!).

    I'm using Flipboard. It automatically imports all your Google Reader feeds, but they don't tell you how to put in new ones once GR is gone.

    I have liked Newsvibe. Free version. Not the same but none have been- tried Feedly but was annoyed that it automatically 'took over' even if I had other readers open and tried to use them.

    Thunderbird is fantastic for RSS. Migrated all my blogs from Greader to Thunderbird.
    With the option: Choose User Profile, you can switch easily from the RSS account to your POP3 mail account.
