This didn’t take long: Hitler reacts to the Google Reader shutdown. I agree with everything that Hitler says here.
I think I laughed harder at this Hitler rant than all his others.

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do not understand this twitter alternatives. Are people tweeting updates to their sites and you follow that? How is that consolidated or automated?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are people tweeting updates to their sites and you follow that?
Yes.
How is that consolidated or automated?

I just connected Feedly to my Google Reader account, and Feedly says that when Reader goes away I won't notice any difference.

Feedly says that when Reader goes away I won't notice any difference.
Except it's my understanding that Google Reader is updating constantly, and I'm not sure other services will have the bandwidth/throughput to do that. Google Reader also keeps the old pages on its server, so if you want to look at old stuff it doesn't get re-pulled from the original site. Also not something I'm convinced all other services can do...
Apparently The Old Reader is getting hammered with requests. I may wait a month or two before switching to another service...

No, I'm aware of the technical hooks--I mean as a consumer of tweets replacing an RSS feed to my consolidation tool--what is my interface there? The normal twitter front end and clicking on links? Wouldn't that top out pretty quickly in usability?

Blast from the past time: Tech Time Warp of the Week: The Commodore-64, 1983 | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com
What was originally a two-hour info/training video on the C-64 has been edited down to nine minutes. I laughed out loud when he described the C-64 as having "a huge amount of memory." The video is also interesting because it's aimed at people who know almost nothing about computeres--it explains what a tape drive and floppy disc drive are.
