I like Newsblur. It has some social tools that remind me of Google Reader at its peak. I have friends that like The Older Reader. It has some social tools that remind me of Google Reader at its peak. Neither of those social spaces communicated between each other.

What we have is a "diaspora", what was once one larger community has moved on to a lot of smaller, more disparate spaces. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but a lot of trade offs were involved, a very large community feeling was lost, and a lot of intangibles were lost (friends with Gmail accounts that could easily follow and interact with us in Google Reader but are lost trying to navigate any other RSS Reader, for instance).
