Like a zillion or so other people, I went into a completely irrational state of panic on Wednesday when I heard that Google Reader was going to be shut down at the end of June.  There's definitely going to be a shakeout among the various RSS services over the next couple months, but for now I've decided to go with NewsBlur .  A good feature set, workable iOS apps, a responsive developer ... and a nicely-revamped UI in the works (at dev.newsblur.com ).   http://www.newsblur.com
