The Old Reader - Giving it a Try

I use Google Reader as an aggregator to access the blogs I follow regularly. Come July, it's going away. I've been reading about some of the alternatives to it. Originally I tried Feedly, but I didn't care for it too much.  I decided to give The Old Reader a try next. I'm in the queue to have my Google Reader subscriptions imported to The Old Reader. Not sure how long I'll be waiting for that to happen. I seem to recall a message saying I was included in the 1,000 or so waiting for their imports. I'll check periodically and see if the import is done.
