I am sort of still annoyed about migrating from bloglines!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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.

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....

Laughing Squid suggests The Old Reader. They say:
