I stopped using Google Reader and RSS feeds a long time ago without actually intending on doing so. I just started finding so much stuff to read through Facebook, Twitter and Hacker News that I totally forgot about RSS.
That being said, I did make a simple ruby script to email me articles when an RSS feed gets updated. I did this mainly to help me keep tabs on service availability RSS feeds, i.e. Twitter's status RSS, Facebook's status RSS, Amazon AWS stratus RSS, and my local weather advisory RSS. It comes in very handy. Maybe I'll put the script on GitHub.
