You have mere hours left before Google Reader shuts down for good. Once you?ve exported your Google Reader subscriptions, where to take them? While we already covered this a few months ago when it was first announced, the landscape has changed a tad, so it looks like it may be time to run down some of the best choices once again.
Aol Reader
This contender came out as a bit of a surprise as there really had been no rumors it was in the works. It visually feels quite a bit like Google Reader, and we?re sure that was on purpose. Due to the speed with this was built, some key features are lacking, but promised down the road. Seeing as it still has the ?Beta? label on it, we can let it slide a bit.

Digg Reader
Digg, the site once known as the king of social sharing, was one of the first to announce that it would be working on a replacement for Google Reader. It only launched this past week, and there is still a lot of work to be done, but it?s obvious that the company is trying to build a fairly powerful tool.
