Honestly, ever since Reader was killed I have way more free time on my hands. Maybe it was my poor time management but it was a time hole for me, I'm actually glad that, at the time, nothing as good was around to make me stick on the endless RSS feeds I was subscribed.

I have the opposite issue: I love newsblur so much, because I can fast forward through RSS feeds and read them quickly, which means I don't have to keep going to the sites.

Think about how much collective time that would be multiplied amongst the millions of users. Huge!

So maybe Google did the world a favour by binning Reader.

I used Feedly for a while, but I pretty much abandoned my RSS fix after the demise of Reader.
