Do you use any RSS/Atom feed aggregator?

I was a big fan of Google Reader back in the day. I still can't understand why Google decided to drop such a useful and successful service.
Anyways, I've went for a couple of years without a main feed aggregator, until a workmate recommend Feedly. Great application for both desktop and mobile, not as good as Google Reader in my opinion but its still pretty damn efficient in providing me with feeds on all my news websites and blogs I follow.

What do you guys use as a feed aggregator/ main reader If you use anything at all.

I still can't understand why Google decided to drop such a useful and successful service.
I remember Google Reader! It wasn't long ago you could still use it. It was an awesome way of staying subbed to your favorite blogs feeds in one simple app that didn't involve relying on email or some other feed reader that wasn't as good to find out the latest from either your competitor/rival blogs or just any other that you wanted to be and stay subscribed to.

However, It wasn't actually that successful. In fact the reason they did drop it in the end was actually because of dwindling use. The main problem was the rise of social media sites like Facebook which people were turning to for the latest news and to follow those sites fanpages they most liked or are following for research as a competitor because they are already using Facebook anyway. Also Google wanted to try and drive more traffic to their own Google+ social networking site which hasn't taken off as well as the other big ones have.

There are some fairly good Google Reader alternatives today including Feedly, NewsBlur, NetVibes, Pulse & Flipboard. One called The Old Reader and even Digg Reader isn't bad and does the same job as Google Reader did pretty much! You used to be able to export all your old subscriptions and data from Google Reader using Google Takeout but I think the sunset period they gave has ended now.

But for all of these, not as many people are using them as they used to. These were more for the old school net users like you and me but the newer generation of net users are using social media sites more now instead of subscribing to sites and blogs feeds in a reader.

It was a solid piece of service. The reason they actually stop it was because they wanted people to focus and use G+ more, google reader was closed just before G+ was launched. And where is G+ now? That's right, failed like the other of Google's social media attempts.

I think Google should always focus on what it dose best, providing information in a cool nice package.

G+ hasn't failed! It's grown into a massive social network with millions of users. If it was failed they would close it down but they haven't and they wont because it's picking up pace and earning them money. And the main reason they stopped Google Reader was because less and less people were using it. Check out the Google Reader Wiki. As said, Google Reader and other email subscription tools were useful back in the days before social networking sites. But people prefer to use them now to stay subscribed to their favorite blogs and people because it's much better for them than using some tool to read their emails in. It was the rise of social media sites like Facebook that was the reason why less people were using it and in the end, the numbers got so small they decided not to keep supporting it in lieu of focusing on Google Plus.

I only use RSS feeds to send out my (s e o c h e c k o u t. c o m) affiliate links to social media. I use buffer.com - twitterfeed.com anf IFTTT.com for automating affiliate marketing. This is all I do with RSS feeds at the moment. Other ideas welcome! Do you use any RSS/Atom feed aggregator?

I didn't use feed generators for long time... Since big boost of presence of social media networks, it was easier to follow latest news via social media then feed generators i guess. But i remember when it was very good way to read latest posts via generators. Now, i guess not many people using them, or maybe i am wrong, not sure Do you use any RSS/Atom feed aggregator?

I haven't used any RSS feeds, or an aggregator in such a long time. I think RSS feeds are being depreciated, because APIs can get the same info or even be utilized better. I don't even include any RSS feeds on my websites. I just use sitemaps, etc. I think RSS feeds are an old technology.

I'm shocked to see people still using them. It truly amazes me. What value does an RSS feed have? Is it even worth it to include them? I see no point, and don't see how it has helped any of my websites, both in the past and in the present.

I never heard about Google Reader but I have heard about Feedly, it sounds like an interesting way to stay up to date... but like so many people have said with social networks it is now easy to follow who you want to and stay up to date with everything.

That is interesting about Google Plus. I joined a few years ago and everyone was telling me how important Google Plus is... and yes because it is Google you need to be a part of it, but as for being a pumping social network? I certainly have not found that.
