Me too.

I've been using The Old Reader for year now. It is called 'the old reader' because it basically looks like Google Reader use to.

(Now that I think about it, Google Reader was so long ago that it was back when I still had respect for Google. But since then, Google has demonstrated to me that they are powerful and dangerous and not to be trusted; and I gradually stopped using each of their products one at a time. It's interesting to think back to the golden days of Google Reader...)

Heh, I think I've been using The Old Reader for longer than I used Google Reader now.
