Google Reader and Why I Don't Trust the Cloud

Because at any point, it can get turned off.

My problem - I use Google Reader, and I have a folder called Revit Feeds.  This folder has been shared, and then the resulting feed has been burnt with FeedBurner. 

This is the Revit feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/revitFeedsRssInGoogleReader

This is the BIM feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/bimFeedsRssInGoogleReader

I'm expecting all of this to turn off tomorrow, or soon after.  This is how I view and archive Revit news to PDF, using this method.  Now, what can I replace this with?

The answer?  Nothing.  Easy.  Yet.

I have tried numerous so called 'replacements' and nothing comes close.  I don't want a flipboard or some artsy style, I just want to be able to fast scroll until I find some really fresh Revit information. Here are a few that I've tried:

• Spundge
• Curata
• Feedly
• The Old Reader
•  SwarmIQ

These are the main things I want:

• fast, clean reading
• ability to create a curated list of blogs and generate a new RSS from that
• ability to archive feeds (including all images) to local filesystem for easy indexing and searching

Now, I'm hoping one of you has the answer for me :-)

In the meantime, I am going to use The Old Reader for pure reading.  For archiving...I'm not sure yet.
