I switched from Google Reader to Friendfeed about two months ago. So far, it's a much better fit for me. It looks and feels like Twitter but you can add RSS feeds (using the "imaginary friends" feature). Like Twitter, there's no "unread items" counter, if you skip something it just drops off the page.
