The death of Google Reader...what next?

I normally read blog posts via email, but as you can imagine this is now starting to take up quite a lot of email real-estate, not only that but they're not very easy to search.

I've never tried Google Reader, but from what I have read it was the be all and end all of readers. It read through the RSS feeds from the blogs you wanted to follow and produced them in a lovely little format for you to read.

So with it dying in x amount of days, I'm off on a ponder of the interwebs in search of a replacement. Not only are blogs excellent sources of knowledge, but they're fantastic for those little things we like to call backlinks ;) I always forget which blogs I've posted on, so having an aggregated list in one place is just what I need.

So, for the next few days I am going to trying out Feedly. So far it looks like I can add the sites I want to read which is a plus and search for articles, which makes finding new sites simple.

I shall report back.
