Google To Kill Google Reader

Google has announced that they are shutting down Google Reader in July. I spend a lot of time in Reeder, which depends on Google Reader as a backend. I’ve seen some suggestions for alternatives—NewsBlur seems to be an early favorite—but I haven’t decided on a course of action yet.

If any of you have experience with other readers and are willing to offer your wisdom, please leave a comment. Maybe it’s only us nerds who care about RSS these days but I don’t know how I can live without it so I definitely need a replacement. One thing for sure, I don’t want to go back to using Safari and never having the feeds in sync between my Macs and iOS devices.

Again, if you have any advice, leave a comment.
