Update: Nevermind: the developer’s decided to stop supporting it. Newsgator got rid of Feed Demon, but the developer has kept it going and it’s worth a look. Of the ones I’ve reviewed recently, I really like JetBrain’s Omea Reader, which has a variety of extra features for managing RSS. There are plenty of desktop RSS readers for Windows users. Alternatives to Google Reader: Desktop, E-mail, Browser These other readers would synchronize your activity with Google Reader. If you read an RSS news item in one reader, it won’t necessarily be marked as read in another one. Feedly allows importing OPML through a work around – which requires Google Reader! The ubiquity of Google Reader meant that a number of the other RSS feed readers relied on it. Some of them also lack the ability to import your current RSS subscriptions, which you’ll be able to export from Google Reader as an OPML file.

I took a quick look at Feedly but can’t figure out how to access feeds without a Google Reader linkage. Some services, like Feedly, offer RSS support over the Web and a mobile app. Unfortunately, many of them are mobile – see Flipboard and Pulse, for example – and shift away from the universal access I enjoyed with Reader. There are loads of very good RSS clients. The decision to get rid of it means finding a decent replacement but I’m probably going to have to change my reading habits. It has been my primary news reader for years and I’ve continued to stick with it, even when it lost some functionality with the shift to Google+. Google has announced the sunset of Google Reader.
