Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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+).

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

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Laughing Squid suggests The Old Reader. They say:

Welcome to The Old Reader, the ultimate social RSS reader. It's just like the old google reader, only better. We're in beta right now, but we're constantly working on improvements and new features.

feedly is looking like a good alternative.

I was just coming over to ask about Google Reader alternatives. I wonder how much, if anything, mobile apps like Flipbook had to do with its demise?

This didn’t take long: Hitler reacts to the Google Reader shutdown. I agree with everything that Hitler says here.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

Twitter did make it much more difficult to follow Twitter accounts via Google Reader, which I used to do, but I still use reader to follow blogs.
