Google reader going away
Currently I use Google Reader to keep up with RSS feeds. Google announced yesterday that Reader goes bye bye in July.
​
Does anyone else use a news reader? If so what do you use?
​
I am testing NewsBlur right now but it seems kinda slow and clunky. Might be just that I am getting used to it and seemingly lots of people just started using it.
​
I looked at Netvibes but it seemed to be way much more than what I need or want.
​
Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Try Thunderbird (RSS instructions) and you get the added benefit of an email client that works cross platform.

Re: Google reader going away
Thanks.
​
I like it. Seems to be the choice. I feel like I could get used to it very quickly.

Dig around and you'll find a metric fuck ton of themes and add-ons similar to Firefox (because it is made by the same company).
