Exactly, I spend most of my time on Linux, and when I'm not in Linux, I'm in IOS or Windows, so iCloud wouldn't help me too much. I did read where another service provider has been working on a Google Reader API replacement, but who knows how open it'll be and if the other clients will be able to switch to it.

I doubt the petitions will have much effect with Google. I'm sure they're trying to drive traffic to their other social networking services, like Google Plus.

The trouble is that if you want to sync your feeds in Windows or you
have an Android tablet, iCloud's not going to help you do that. This is
where Google Reader was such a good solution.

And while other solutions exist, Google has the infrastructure to pull
something like this off. It takes a lot of bandwidth and server power to
run a sync solution for millions of people. I'm sure if necessary,
market forces will kick in and someone may well set up a service you
have to pay for. And who knows, I guess if enough people keep signing
those petitions, perhaps Google will reconsider.

Well, podcasts can sink across iCloud, maybe the rss apps will figure
out the same solution.

I've only had Feeddler Pro & Google reader for a few Months or so, but
now that I have the hang of it, I've greatly enjoyed it.

Fingers crossed, Feeddler comes up with something great & user
friendly.  ;)

It is a pity. The developer of Feeddler sent a tweet to say that the
app wasn't going away and to stay tuned. The issue of course is that
if a bunch of replacements emerge, and you enjoy reading RSS content
across platforms, you'll need to find a solution that is accessible
on all the platforms.

Google's been doing a bit of house cleaning of late, closing
services. But I think they're underestimated just how much reaction
shutting Reader down was going to cause.

Wow! What does this mean for all our rss reader apps. It seems to
me, you couldn't find a rss app that didn't depend on a google account.
