I made the mistake of reading the news that Google was shutting down Reader right before going to bed last night, not conducive to winding down. I've been using it ever since switching from Bloglines in 2006.

I've switched to Fever (feedafever.com) today, as it works with Reeder for iPhone. If you've got a jailbroken iPad the iPhone version of Reeder runs in fullscreen quite well, which does in a pinch until/if the new version of Reeder for iPad is released.

Basically this worked for me as I'm effectively swapping out the back-end stuff whilst keeping the reading experience I'm used to. I'm finding that if I ignore the "Hot" and "Sparks" lists it works just like Google Reader from Reeder's point of view.

Fever is PHP + MySQL based so you will need a server or hosting to run it off, but it's totally worth it not to have to deal with cloud based services simply going away.
