As a google employee, I wouldn't use Reader now even if it magically came back. Fool me once, etc., etc. In fact, I wouldn't use any third-party service. I have the skills, and readers are easy to build; there's just no reason to outsource this particular product.

I will latch on to this commend to recommend http://tt-rss.org/ which I have been running since the demise of GReader and have been very happy with it. Performant with a huge number of feeds, able to share arbitrary items in your own public RSS feed, decent android client and wonderfully abrasive support forums. screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/I7YLePz.png

Commonality across many devices is useful to me, so I ended up running tt-rss. Just don't read the forums.
