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.
 
I've moved to feedly and waiting for their wp8 app.... it was said it was coming or something like that.
 
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.
