Well done. This site was worth the work, even if it will be a short lived project.
I voted for feedly. Those guys also promised a smooth transition once google reader shuts down. Not sure what else you could want.

#12This is a great idea, but I think the rush to find an alternative is premature - there's going to be a huge shift in the RSS reader landscape over the next few months, and the best alternative may not even be announced yet.

Switching an RSS reader isn't (or shouldn't be) particularly onerous, so there's really no reason to avoid switching even if a new one comes later.

But it's certainly a format which can be expanded upon and applied to the recommending of any number of things.

#17This is great! There is one thing missing though. I tried to subscribe to the site in Reader and it couldn't find a feed. Could you?

#19Does Feedly have a web-based client? I'm looking for something to recommend to users at www.searchtempest.com. Many of them have never used (or even heard of) RSS before, so simplicity is key.
