It’s way better than Google Reader. You can export your feeds as an OPML file and then import them into feed demon. Give it a try! 😉

If you think the end of Google Reader is frustrating, imagine what it was like for people who relied on Google’s free wifi access only to have the network deteriorate in late December 2012 and then get no explanation as to what was going on, why it was happening, and when it would be fixed. I was visiting a friend at the time, so I know how frustrating and inconvenient it was.

I have used Feedly instead of Reader for a long time and will be happy with this solution. I understand the frustration of the Fuhrer though, particularly with reference to the Google Glasses. http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/

Its a bit more colourful and magazine like as well. In still getting to grips with it but I like what I see.

It’s tough but you’ll get through it.
