I have used several different readers like: Feed Reader, Fuse, etc. that pull from my Google Reader account. Now that GR is going away. What are people doing to aggregate feeds and funnel them to a WP8 reader app? I know there are several readers out there in which you can manually enter feeds. But the overhead of manually entering 25+ feeds is daunting.

Feedly will have their own API, basically same as Google Reader and some devs are said to switch to Feedly backend once Google Reader is switched off. I moved to Feedly as well, seems to be the smoothest transition at the moment.

For me, i've narrowed it down to Feedly (in list view) and TheOldReader.

I do miss the unread articles favicon for pinned tabs that a script for Google Reader added though.

Yes. Feedly seem like a cool alternative, when they have released a WP8 app.
But since there isn't any official time line for this, is ther any other alternative that acctually is up and running?

I switched to newsblur.com. There is Metroblur in the app store that works pretty well.

I use NextGen Reader on both the desktop and mobile versions of Windows 8 since its design is more inline with the original Reader feel. They mention on their site that their apps will continue to run after Google shuts down service and I haven't had any problems thus far.

I also switched to Newsblur since it has a lot of the great poweruser features that Google Reader had, and for WP8, I use the Feed Me app which is pretty great!

I use Weave now exclusively myself, not so great for cross platform...yet. They have said a Win8 version is coming soon though.
