A month after Google killed its beloved Reader, the market for paid RSS tools is booming | The Verge

I continue to be very pleased with Feedly

"Seen that way, the flock of post-Google RSS readers seem less like replacements than evolutions. Reader was great, but Google let it stagnate. It was only ever going to be a side project, something to keep engineers busy while the company expanded its stranglehold on search and tried to force its way into social. Cut loose from the corporate demands of Google, RSS can be more than that. It’s already been a crucial open web standard, and now it can be a paid professional tool along the lines of Photoshop, or an AOL-style portal for experiencing the internet at large. It can be something we haven't even thought of yet. The companies involved are still catching up to Google's feature set, but there's no reason to think they'll stop there. It may be time to stop being sad for the reader that was, and get excited for the reader that's coming."
