Hi Kathryne:

Good insight. If you do run across an acceptable alternative please post.

Maybe if everyone sends a complaint to Google they will reverse their
decision.(?)

When they first made the announcement, I found several similar place sites
with choices. I tried several of them and didn't like most of them. I
decided to go with the Old Reader for the time being. However, I like the
looks of NetVibes. Only problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to
import, so I'll had to add my feeds by hand. Just haven't had time to do
that yet.

One word of caution: whatever you decide on, it may take a while to get the
import done because everyone else it trying to as well. Old Reader took
almost a week to get it done. Every time I checked, it would say how many
people were in the queue ahead of me.
