So there is a new Paid Google Reader alternative4 called BazQux Reader.
You get a 30 day free trial, and then you can pay either $9, $19 or $29 a year to use the service.
It promises to be very Google Reader like, supposedly using the exact same API, all that needs to be changed is the address to allow programs to work with it.
It does not have a search function as of yet though.
And it has more sharing options than some allowing you to go to e-mail, twitter, facebook, google plus, tumblr, evernote, delicious, pinboard, pocket, readability and instapaper, though you can’t seem to turn off the share feeds you don’t want to use or re-order them in any way.
It is fast and very google reader like though, and since it is paid they promise not to go away.
