    I'm using Feed Demon now, it might work for me. Too bad there isn't a PC client for Reeder.

    i just wish that like with gmail you had the choice to use the new design or not, or even the ability to remove the giant default font it has decided to use on my comp. it also loads the feeds painfully slow now

    This is incredibly lame. I guess they need to focus more energy on worthless things like google plus that no one uses.

    I guess the way they see it : no Reader = more people using Google +, as it can be used as a newsfeed
