Most Popular RSS Newsreader: Google Reader [Hive Five Followup]

Google Reader's latest changes have sparked a lot of debate and discussion, and it got us wondering if you were planning on sticking with it through the design and sharing changes, or if you're planning to jump ship to another RSS Newsreader. Last week we asked you which newsreader you used, even in light of the changes, and then we took a look at the top five based on your nominations. Now we're back to highlight the winner.

Predictably, most of you said that changes or no changes, Google Reader was where you would go to read your feeds. Some of you even said that you liked the redesign, and didn't see what the furor was all about. Either way, Google Reader brought in 63% of the vote, winning by a huge margin. In second place with 17% of the votes cast is Reeder, a great feed reader for Mac OS and iOS devices (and has even inspired an unofficial Chrome extension.) Rounding out the top three with 14.5% of the vote is Feedly, a cross-platform and cross-browser news and feed reader that also offers a curated news experience so you can find more news based on what you like. In a distant fourth is FeedDemon, a great?albeit Windows only?free newsreader that also syncs with Google Reader, and in last place with 2% of the votes cast is Netvibes, a webapp that lets you read feeds, your social networks, and aggregate other useful information on a single page.
