Perhaps off-topic, but to those that are interested in bloat-free open source Reader replacements, I've had extremely good luck with TT-RSS. It's been in development since 2005, is written in PHP, and is quite slick IMHO. I run my own instance on shared hosting (DreamHost) and it hasn't failed me yet. Open-source Android client as well (though it costs a couple of bucks in the play store.) http://tt-rss.org/
