Google Reader Being Retired

To borrow a phrase from my wife... What the what?!?!

"We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader."

I don't want to move to one of those flashy RSS clients. I want fast, simple, clean.
