Google Reader is being discontinued as of July. :(
Is there a similar alternative? Or, hopefully, something even better? Google Reader has streamlined my online reading so much. I have no desire to go back to looking up each page individually!
Oh no! I've come to depend on google reader to follow a bunch of blogs. :(

Ugh, it's been the only reason I could keep up with as many blogs as I do. :(

I just spent 15 minutes looking for good replacements. To date, the answer seems to be 'not yet'. As the article alludes to, however, Feedly may be it. Will be watching - can't imagine not having a feed reader that works on my laptop, Kindle and phone.

NOT good!!! Big bummer :( I have loved Google Reader and read all my blogs through them. :( Curious what else is out there like it...
Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/5990456/google-reader-is-getting-shut-down-here-are-the-best-alternatives) had a few alternatives.

That is a true travesty. I better write down which ones I follow because it is so brainless to just open my google reader. Can we petition them to keep it?

Oh no! I use Google Reader on my laptop, and the Feedly app on my iPad. I really like it. I'll have to see if there is Feedly for PC computers.
