What to Do When Google Shuts Down Their RSS Reader?

Google's Reader users got this message Wednesday

Like millions of other Google RSS Reader fans, we're bummed that they've decided to dump Reader, starting July 1, 2013.

Google says:

"There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products. We think that kind of focus will make for a better user experience.

"To ensure a smooth transition, we’re providing a three-month sunset period so you have sufficient time to find an alternative feed-reading solution. If you want to retain your Reader data, including subscriptions, you can do so through Google Takeout."

Reditters have started taking suggestions on alternate RSS feed readers, managing to crash quite a few in the rush. (Here is the link to the entire conversation.)

Here are some RSS feed names that have popped up at the top of the list:
