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

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!
Lifehacker suggests some possible alternatives: [link]
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.
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.

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.
Well, moving to Feedly was easy and I'm really liking it so far.
Jessica,
I exported an xml file from reader yesterday. I am using feedly right now - which has iphone app and that will have to do.
flipboard is also useful, but I may start thinking about ifttt.com alternatives for RSS feeds that I really need to read. I am now getting quite a lot of links from twitter, but there is key stuff I am missing, and ifttt can probably deal with that.
