bastards. they never seem to realize how much they damage our trust with these actions. it effects all of their future products. I don't trust them anymore.

anyway feedly has a replacement coming soon:

http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/

> We have been working on a project called Normandy which is a feedly clone of the Google Reader API – running on Google App Engine. When Google Reader shuts down, feedly will seamlessly transition to the Normandy back end. So if you are a Google Reader user and using feedly, you are covered: the transition will be seamless.

> If you are a Google Reader, give feedly a try before July 1st, and you will be able to migrate seamlesly

"a feedly clone of the Google Reader API – running on Google App Engine"

So it will also die when Google shuts down App Engine? :)

I've made the switch to feedly as well, and so far I must say it has been a pleasant experience. Everything was set-up and imported in a few clicks, and the general usage experience is also pretty smooth. I got rid of the useless default interface, replaced it by compact lists. I can say I'm happy with the state of things for now.

+1 on feedly. my transition from GR to Feedly was painless and they have a great interface to boot. Ive tried others like rssminer, theoldreader and newsblur, and didnt like it. I prefer getting summaries/pictures for me to make a decision to click a link or not and not just a plain itemized list.

It's not a replacement, it's just the back-end that is getting replaced. Feedly will just change its back-end to Normandy instead of Google Reader.

Their site is getting crushed right now. I can't even login.

http://www.feedly.com/ perfectly works right now. With four clicks you find all your feed groups again you had in Google Reader and the User Interface is even nicer...

I think the most important feature for any alternative is the import of the Google Reader's feeds and structure including all tags!
