Google Reader is Shutting Down

The beloved Google Reader is sunsetting this 31st of July 2013.


We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Reader (the actual date is July 1, 2013). We know Reader has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go. We’re sad too.
There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products. We think that kind of focus will make for a better user experience.


Now what? I'm looking for better alternatives on how to manage my RSS. Checked out Lifehacker's post, +Whitson Gordon is recommending:
-Netvibes
-NewsBlur
-Feedly

I'm digging in to Feedly since i had the iPhone app but it's still tagged as new and hasn't been tried out. In the back of my head, i'm thinking of using the Outlook built-in RSS, might be tinkering some settings later on the Outlook2010.
