XML FeedsYesterday, the following was announced
We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.
Damn, I love my Google reader. Today my fellow LessThanDot member damber told me about feedly
Feedly exists for the following platforms and browsers
Feedly for iOS
Feedly for Android
Feedly for Chrome
Feedly for Firefox
Feedly for Safari
Feedly will connect to Google Reader and import all your stuff.
I decided to give the Chrome plugin a try, here is what it looks like
I also like the way you can organize the feeds, much better than Google reader IMHO
I am also very happy that the j and k keyboard shortcuts work

Denis has been working with SQL Server since version 6.5. Although he worked as an ASP/JSP/ColdFusion developer before the dot com bust, he has been working exclusively as a database developer/architect since 2002. In addition to English, Denis is also fluent in Croatian and Dutch, but he can curse in many other languages and dialects (just ask the SQL optimizer) He lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife and three kids.
I still think I prefer FeedDemon, I like the layout better and the ability to set notifications for the various feeds is quite nice. I am not mad about the ads, but I guess I can get the pro version if the annoy me too much. 
I also started using Feedly. 
I am checking out feedly this weekend. My new 'droid also shipped with Flipboard, which looks interesting but graphic-heavy. RIP Reader :( 
Check out NetVibes. It's wonderful:
I found http://bazqux.com and it is a really nice Google Reader clone. No starred items, but I can save to ReadItLater or Instapaper. It has Readability built-in and also imports comments from compatible blogs. It could use some features, but it is really nice. It does have a cost, the developer asks for an annual fee (minimum $9) 
I have gone with tiny-tiny-rss, which is open source. I have installed it on my own server, added a twitter plugin, added mark as unread/read functionality to the right-click menu. I really like it so far, but it could use some caching though.
