I used to use Google Reader and now use Feedly (mainly because it was the first thing I came across and was really easy to transfer feeds from Google Reader).
I'm not particularly techy and started using GR as an easy way to collect together all of the sites I looked at on a fairly regular basis - sort of as a tailored newspaper.
I guess for many people weeding out stuff of interest from the huges volumes of crap out there is too much like hard work. Waiting for a friend to share it on FB or seeing what friends like on FB and following along is much easier.
I use FB, but increasingly just on my iPhone as there's less noise/ads on the screen.
