Can't believe nobody mentioned Google Reader yet - that was such a great product and they killed it, still haven't found anything that comes close (and I'm paying for a theoldreader.com subscription, they're good but no Google Reader).

I tried half a dozen replacements after the Readerpocalyse and finally settled on https://kouio.com/ - been very happy with it ever since. The only real gripe I have is the lack of sane sidebar feed list ordering by default.

I wish they'd start charging for it.

I find Newsblur.com has passed Reader in almost every way – feed management, social, etc. – and it has a viable business model, not to mention being open-source (https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur).

The one advantage Reader arguably still had was what came from their search infrastructure (caching nearly everything forever & near-realtime updates) but that's not something I notice very often.

Agreed. I lament the death of Reader on an at least weekly basis.
