An unexpected amount of change has disrupted the RSS feed reading market. First Google Reader users got a warning that their service was on the outs (it then closed for good July 1). Then Digg (remember Digg?) out of nowhere launched a minimalist-designed RSS feed reader, with an iPhone app, too, putting a jaunty feather in its cap. And then, shockingly, users of The Old Reader had a scare when that service threatened to kill off any accounts created in the throes of the Google Reader panic, but that service appears to be run now by a new team entirely and reports to be alive and well. It's a lot of upheaval around a "really simple" service.
Finding the right RSS feed reader need not be a source of pain. I've found nine very good services that all offer something different. And there are dozens and dozens more options to explore, not least of which is giving up RSS altogether, which a few people have mentioned to me they're done. Alternatively, you could move to a more magazine-like experience, such as the Flipboard app provides, where content and sources can be curated, cultivated, and recommended to you. But if you want the basic RSS stuff of life, a simple scrolling list of updates from your favorite blogs, news sources, and sites of curiosities delivered to an inbox-like environment, then check out the services listed below.
My personal quest for a new RSS feed reader led me to reevaluate what was important. Simplicity and a clean design came out on top. I also spent a long time looking at which readers included tools to help me organize my feeds. I don't use RSS for breaking news, so speed was a little lower on my list.

Support for OPML file uploads, on the other hand, seemed just as important as anything else, as that function is necessary for former Google Reader users to migrate at their own pace.

My colleagues and I at PCMag rigorously tested many alternatives to Google Reader. Two favorites came out on top, which became our Editors' Choices. But depending on what's important to you, a different service could fit your needs better.

The only piece missing is Google Alerts, which I recently learned have been unreliable for the past few weeks and do not appear to be functioning in any other RSS feed reader since Google Reader shut down (we'll have reviews of alternatives to Google Alerts on PCMag soon).

Take a look at these top services and our notes about their pros and cons to see which one will work best for you. And if nothing in this list tickles your fancy, see, " Top Free Picks: RSS Readers."

FEATURED IN THIS ROUNDUP

Digg Reader

The brand-new Digg Reader is technically in beta, but it looks very promising. The public beta is free, though Digg's roadmap has on it premium features that will roll out later for a price. This Web-based RSS feed reader includes features that encourage exploration of new content, but it doesn't force you to read them in a magazine-like display, which more traditionalists with RSS feeds may prefer. It provides good ability to customize feed lists and folder organization. And while it sports a clean design and updates pretty quickly, it does not support OPML file uploads. There are some social features included, and some settings are set to public rather than private by default. You can use Digg Reader in the Digg app (for iPhone) , and more native apps are on the development team's radar for later this year. Read the full review ››

Reeder (for Mac)

$4.99
Five-dollar Mac app Reeder brings your RSS feeds to the OS X desktop with a lot of bells and whistles not found in Google Reader. It's customizable and integrates seamlessly with Google Reader, but does not support OPML uploads. It has a free app for iPhone (newly made free, by the way) and one en route for iPad soon. You'll find numerous sharing options and a great search box, but no apps for Windows or Android. Read the full review ››
