Google Builds a Reader

Strangely and still only experimentally, Google has decided to unearth their RSS Reader.  I was an early test user of  Google Reader, and remember thinking how useful this was to make sense of an expanding Web, especially if you had many interests.  It had many followers.  Then they canned it.   Its back, or is it, for good?   I used Feedly ever since.
