Powering Down Google Reader

jmke · 14th March 2013, 01:02

We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Reader (the actual date is July 1, 2013). We know Reader has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go. We’re sad too.

There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products. We think that kind of focus will make for a better user experience.

works as plugin for your browser (FF/Chrome) has free apps for phone, sync with GOogle reader at this time and they promise to have their own backend up and running in July so that you won't notice a thing.
you can create a view which is similar to Google Reader.

I've tried them all now (posted in this thread), none are as quick and easy and up to date as Google Reader
