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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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?

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

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.

I think I laughed harder at this Hitler rant than all his others.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hitler reacts to the Google Reader shutdown.

Bwahaha! Well, I won't say that made it all worth it, but I feel better now.

Feh. Hopefully someone has a tool to export/import all my feeds? Because I have way more subscriptions now than when I migrated over TO Google Reader from Bloglines.
