    Feedly is filled with so many rescources that you can type in any random word and it will undoubtedly lead you to a website or blog that you never knew existed.

    It never seemed to just... work like Reader did; I have to go through hoops just to add a site to my Feedly, rather than just putting in a URL and suddenly having complete access to that site's RSS. Maybe it's because I was young and ignorant as to how this works when I was using Reader, I don't know.

    Newsblur is fantastic - handles the simple task of keeping track of many feeds very well. Also has many features, like multiple methods of displaying posts, training it to highlight the posts that matter most, lots of organization & filtering methods, etc.

    Integrated sharing and threaded commenting. Because it's a paid service, it doesn't share / sell your personal information, good mobile apps and compatibility with third-party apps.
