I like the old Reader - http://theoldreader.com. It's just like Google reader.

I compiled a list of other alternatives, a lot of which are even open source. Check it out - http://getgini.com/google-reader-alternatives

Using http://feedly.com Good UI both in the mobile app and Web app.

I use feedly now too, I could set it up to look almost like reader did. I use it on my android phone as well.

Hi Guys,

If what you want is the ability to skim large #s of headlines, organize lots of feeds, label them, tag articles for later reading in one fast unobtrusive "no magazine layout" reader, SwarmIQ is your choice. Sign up at http://www.swarmiq.com/register/askhn , click on the Google reader icon to get all your feeds, and get up and running straight away.

www.swarmiq.com is our landing page if you want to see some screenshots and get a sense of what the service is like before signing up.

Disclosure: I'm on the team that built this site :-) Also, we don't have "Google Alerts" type functionality yet.

http://www.feedsapi.org + http://feedly.com is my first choice, followed by http://www.feedsapi.org + snackr , feedsapi turns shortened rss into full text rss feeds, which makes the user experience with any other rss reader much more better. I also use FeedsAPI rss to email feature on the go.

commafeed.com. Seamless import from Google reader, and the interface works about the same, no surprises.

I just wish they'd charge $19/year or something so I can be sure they'll stick around.

commafeed is open source. so if it does disappear, you could run it on your own server - https://github.com/Athou/commafeed

although i have a google reader set up, for the last several years my reader has been techmeme. Since techmeme, I look at my reader once a week and techmeme throughout the day.

feedly - the best one :-)

feedly is pretty neat
