OK, so Bloglovin did not work for me. I couldn't arrange my feeds the way I wanted, and it would only display one column, down the middle, which included blurbs and pictures and the whole shebang. I want HEADLINES/SUBJECT LINES only.
NetVibes gives me that. Importing it from Google Reader was easy, once I found the tutorial on it. It has a very user friendly interface, with click to expand and click to collapse, so I can view more of a headline, then collapse it again if it's not what I want.
Since it's headlines only, it allows me to scan the headlines for the things I want to read first. It allows me to rearrange my feeds into new groups by dragging and dropping. It lets me mark all of a blog read without impacting the other blog feeds under that category.
So far, I've found nothing I don't like about it. It's going to replace Google Reader nicely.
Also, it's free, but has upgraded versions that do more things - more than the average reader would need.
One thing I do like that Google Reader doesn't do, when I mark things read, they don't disappear. So if it happens that I marked something read and it turns out that I want to refer back to it a few days later, the headline is still there, just grayed out so I know it's been read.
