Google Reader is being killed 1 July 2013. Export your OPML and start searching for a new RSS reader...

I finally just started using RSS feeds and it has improved my workflow dramatically. Now they're breaking my system on me?! Thanks for letting me know...

Do you suggest any particular RSS readers?

I'm already considering moving to email and running the whole thing on my home server.

Meh, I guess we have a few months to see people's reports on the alternatives.

At least in the case of NewsBlur we'll have to wait to see people's reports, since they are being hammered by all the Reader refugees.

I've imported my feeds into Google Currents, since it can also be used to read regular news, not just feeds, which I do, anyway. Trying it out now, hopefully Google will be improving it, if they want the reader users to stay with Google.

Update: So far Google Currents sucks for feeds. Totally unintuitive layout and gestures, does not show new feeds (or I cannot find where it does), the formatting of several items is so poor, I give up and go to the original site. Switching back to Google Reader until something better comes along.
