MANILA, Philippines – Google will be turning off its Google Reader service on July 1, according to the tech giant.

“While the product has a loyal following,” a post on Google’s official blog said, “over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader.”

Those who enjoy using Google Reader will need to look for an RSS feed-reading alternative before then, but the company will make it a little easier by eventually allowing users to export their data (such as their subscriptions) using Google Takeout.

In the meantime, Lifehacker does have some RSS feed-reading alternatives for those seeking a new refuge. – Rappler.com
