I wonder why Reeder isn't on the list. It's mentioned 15 times in the comments so far.

Since when has Chrome got an RSS reader? The only RSS feeds I've seen in Chrome were plain XML that didn't send the correct MIME-type.

You saw plain XML because Chrome doesn't support RSS without a plugin.

No folders or tags? How do you separate or prioritize? I may have five hundred plus feeds and I may not be watching all of them all the time.

The best RSS clients that I've found (Reeder for iOS and Pulse for Android) both use Google Reader as a backend to keep the feed list in sync. I don't really want a whole ecosystem, any social features, a fancy web site, etc. All I really want from an alternative is for it to provide an API for keeping feed lists in sync and for the many Google Reader clients currently available to support it.

I love Reeder for iOS/Mac and was relieved to see that the developer has plans to continue without Google. See https://twitter.com/reederapp/status/311995748482945025

You know, I always thought Reeder would make for a good email app.

No mention of Bloglines? They're still around (and halfway decent). http://www.bloglines.com/

Went to check it out and migrate my old account, but their migration page has a JavaScript error.
