I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Joining the chorus of woe. I don't want to have to migrate my feeds or whatever, though presumably someone will make that easy, right?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am sort of still annoyed about migrating from bloglines!

Some people on Twitter are claiming that Twitter killed Google Reader, which I don't really get. It doesn't work the same at ALL.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

WTF????

Personally I think Google killed Reader with their crappy redesign, which is when I pretty much stopped using it. I picked the blogs I liked most and get them via email now. Which is good for book/film reviews, but I'd rather a reader option for everything else.

I've heard people get blogs via Twitter but I've never understood how. I assume some app I don't use.

Some of the people I follow on Twitter post links to their blog posts. But not always, and I still have to open another window to read them. It's so completely different.

I got used to the redesign, and for me GReader works the same as it always did, since I never got into the social functions (which they killed when they introduced G+).

I use the Reeder client on my Mac and iOS, which uses Google reader as its back-end.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I use Mr Reader as a client? For GReader. So I could see how apps might have contributed to its demise.

I...RSS feed a few blogs to my dreamwidth? But I know Consuela can't get to that at work....
