Bloggers! I need your help

I use Google Reader to track posts on blogs. This is a great research tool. Sadly, it's being phased out come July 1. Anyone know of any good free web-based RSS feed readers?

Thanks in advance

    If you google: Google Reader Alternatives, you will come up with pages of posts on alternatives. One new one I've heard some buzz about is: Social Media Monitoring, Analysis & Engagement made easy! - talkwalker

    The Old Reader is just like Google Reader and they claim it's better!

    You can import your feeds directly from your Google Reader account

    I've explored lots of alternatives to GReader over the past few weeks.

    Finally, I've settled on a combination of:

    * Feedly: feedly. feed your mind.

    * Flipboard (iOS): Flipboard

    Additionally, I've started using Google+'s Communities more. I've joined around 15 Communities, so that I can keep up to date with special interests; my own, and my clients'.

    Although I was hugely annoyed when Google announced that GReader was going away -- I had a workflow that worked -- this new workflow is easier and more fun. So, all's well for me.

    Try the various alternative readers and see which you like. I'm sure that over the next few months, new readers will emerge too.

    Cheers

    I have to second Feedly - It syncs across all my devices, between my android tablet, my iphone, my mac an my PC, works flawlessly and the content placement is aesthetically pleasing, which is important to me.

    I second the thanks to all those here. This has been on my mind recently although I haven't had time to research the benefits of the different readers out there. Feedly sounds like it may become my new favorite iPad app.

    I will vouch for Feedly as well.

    Have been using it lately, and I like it a lot.
