Answer:
On the night of March 13, Google tried to quietly lay to rest its longtime RSS reader, the Huffington Post reported.
Discontinuing Google Reader, however, leaves many users searching for alternatives before the July 1 end date -- users who can test the seven alternatives above to find one that fits the bill. And there's one more potential alternative on the horizon: On Thursday, March 14, Digg announced that to fill the void, it would launch its own RSS reader. The reader, which has not yet been named, is set for release sometime after June.

Your headline got it right, "...seven RSS feed replacements...". So why does the body of the article say "...nine alternatives above..."? Is it really that hard to get something as simple as this right for such a small article?
I too am outraged by the use of the number nine in this exposé. We know how to count! Stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes!
Excellent Google Reader alternative: Skimr - http://www.skimr.co
We at MyNews.is started to build an alternative yesterday, today we just finished the backend, next week we could go online with a MVP http://reader.mynews.is/
