I tried Reader but it's not in my face enough to remember it, instead I use Opera's built-in RSS reader which has notifications (I imagine Chrome + Reader could have notifications like Gmail Chat).

#32I generally use Feedly ( http://www.feedly.com/home#my ) now, mostly because their Android client is much faster, at least for the way I read. They sync subs, and status with Reader so you can bounce back and forth. Their web client really isn't any better than Google Reader's but it's somewhat habitual now to go there instead of Google Reader.
I really don't like their android client too much and prefer the native google reader client on android. Btw. here is a small tips with Feedly that I enjoy (for Firefox):
You can also install this plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homep...
Then you set feedly as your default tab open page. I see it everythere I do a Ctrl-T and because I quick-peek it many times a day, I can keep up with a large number of feeds.

#33It's been basically my primary portal to the internet since it came out. Other than HN and reddit, which don't really produce super useful feeds, I don't really browse any sites directly anymore. I have always been looking for the next big thing to replace it, since there hasn't been a tremendous amount of effort put into it lately, but nothing has compared. The feature that I have been sort of daydreaming about is t…

#34I use Tiny Tiny RSS ( http://tt-rss.org/ ). Open source, with a correct mobile web version and an Android application.
Ah! I have to try that! I a heavy Google Reader user but I would prefer something installed on my server that I can completely control. I tried a few ones but none were even close to Google Reader in term of usability, but I never tried Tiny Tiny RSS. Thanks for the link :-).

That would be a very interesting feature. My Reader search results are by far more useful than google.com results. I'm also waiting for post to G+ from reader. Read Later would also be very useful.
The Instapaper bookmarklet works great in Google Reader :)

#36No, but I use Reeder.

#37I use NetNewsWire (http://netnewswireapp.com/). I usually open up a lot of tabs in my browser, so I try and move things away from it as much as I can. Plus, native apps look better than web apps, at least for now (and at least on Macs).

#38A bit of an addict, frankly.
Trying to avert the damage with instapaper and my Kindle.

Hm, thanks, I'll check that out. I'll probably still hit the site directly, but it'd be nice to have that archive in my account.

#40I used to use Reader religiously...then I finally spent the time to find all those sites' Twitter feeds and shifted everything over to Twitter...it took forever but it's infinitely easier to share things now.
