Mendoooooooozzzzzaaaa!!!!!
Google Reader is shutting down as of July 1st. I have a couple hundred sites I monitor for updates, and Google Reader was wonderful for that. I guess I’ll have to use another service. Feedly might be an option, but I want something that I can use on any browser anywhere; that was a huge advantage that Google Reader had. I might have to put together something for myself instead.
If you come up with something, let me know. I started using FeedDaemon, and it’s worked well for me so far. It’ll even import your Google Reader subscriptions.

Unfortunately, that one’s shutting down in July as well; it actually uses Google Reader.
The service I’m likely to go to is NewsBlur. There’s a free version, but I’m willing to pay $1 a month for a good enough RSS service.

That’s one of the many sources.

It also says he’s creating a new version without reader sync.
