The good news is that the developer community has come through, and there are now several compelling alternatives to Google Reader for those who want syncing of RSS subscriptions between devices, though all are far from complete. Another one of our picks, Netvibes, is in sore need of an update. Fever, a self-hosted solution, isn’t a top priority for its developer, Shaun Inman. When Google first announced the death of Reader, we took a look at the field of candidates available at the time, but frankly, it was a field that was dry and barren (see “ Explore Alternatives to Google Reader,” 18 March 2013).

After 1 July 2013, without a last-minute call from Governor Larry Page, Google is flipping the switch and sending Reader to the land of abandoned Google initiatives. With the imminent death of Google Reader, it’s time to fish for a new RSS syncing service or cut bait, so to speak.
