Well Google Reader appears to be going away :-(

Reading the news on Google Reader, something I tend to do multiple times a day whether I am on my phone, at work, or on my personal computer. Well straight from Google's official blog http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html it's going away July 1st 2013. Any alternatives that appear to be worth looking at, well their pages are down at the time of writing this. For example Tiny Tiny RSS http://tt-rss.org/ So I went ahead and signed a petition, because I figured why not https://www.change.org/petitions/google-keep-google-reader-running . Reddit of course has picked up the story as they always too, and it appears many are just as concerned regarding it's departure http://i.imgur.com/kzzvGSk.jpg Well Google maybe I'll go out and find something better, but just something about what you had just worked and I appreciated that.
