Google Reader is dead, long live Google reader

I was taken aback reading that Google Reader will go in July.... it was a very good friend, and I really feel betrayed by Google.

So now I go hunting for the next Google Reader, possibly with the same minimalistic interface.

I am trying to use "The Old Reader" but it seems overloaded at the moment, as everybody is jumping out of the Google Reader window. It will take some weeks for the dust to settle.

Here some posts on the topic
